When Veera Sundara Brahmarayan caused great disturbance to Bhattar, Bhattar left Srirangam and moved to Thirukkoottiyur. On the way, he became very tired due to hunger and thirst and thought of Nanjeeyar and called out for him.

Nanjeeyar, who had heard of Bhattar's departure had packed water and food and was quickly following him.

Just as Bhattar called out for him, Nanjeeyar arrived at that place and immediately gave him the water and the food.

Seeing that, Bhattar was greatly pleased with his acharya bhakti and blessed him.
