One time Bhattar was explaining the meaning of the pasuram

viLarik kural anRil menpadai mEginRa munRil peNNai
muLarik kurambai idhu idhuvAga mugil vaNNan pEr
kiLarik kiLarip pidhaRRum mellAviyum naivum ellAm
thaLaril kolO? aRiyEn uyyalAvadhu iththaiyalukkE

in Thiruviruththam (pasuram 83) to his disciple Nanjeeyar.

In this pasuram, Nammazhvar as Parankusa Nayaki hears the sound of the Anril birds and faints. Seeing that, her mother wonders when her daughter would have her wish fulfilled and be happy again.

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "Is there any event in Sri Ramayanam that matches to this?"

Bhattar replied "Due to Sri Rama's command, Lakshmana took Sita to the forest and left Her there. In the forest when Valmiki maharishi saw Her crying, it can be said that he attained the same state as that of Parankusa Nayaki's mother".
