Veerasigamani Pallavarayan asked Bhattar "As I am involved in the matters of the kingdom, I don't get the opportunity to listen about the Lord. Therefore, please teach me something in which I can take refuge in".

Bhattar told him "Think about the beach".

Pallavarayan did not follow what Bhattar was saying and stood looking confused.

Bhattar then explained "Sri Rama reached the salty ocean and stood in its beach like an ocean of nectar. A huge army of monkeys was waiting under His command, while Ravana was on the other side. The army being of this world became tired after work and fell asleep. At which time, Rama and Lakshmana walked around with their bows and arrows protecting the entire sleeping army all night, like a bird protecting its egg under its wings, as if they were walking walls. Therefore, take your refuge in that Lord's hand and in the bow that He carries".

That is, if He protects us while we sleep, then where is the need for us to ask Him to look at us?
