Bhattar was once talking about Azhvars pasurams that describe the greatness of the Vamana avataram.

Nanjeeyar then asked Bhattar "Where did Lord Trivikrama place his third step after measuring the two worlds with the first two steps?"

Bhattar replied "Why do you ask me? Go ask the Vedas for the answer. The Vedas, in which all answers can be found, have themselves declared that they do not know the answer to this question and that those who wish to know the answer should ask He Himself who took the first two steps, where he placed the third step".
