‘This pasuram reminds us about Budath Azhwar as he sang about the importance of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. Perumal’s mace (Gathai) incarnated as Budath Azhwar. Gadam in Sanskrit also means diseases. This Azhwar taught us that chanting Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam (i.e. Hari Nama sankeerthanam) cures diseases.
Sutrum vilaku eriya is Bhuthath Azhwar as he lit a lamp made out of his love for Perumal which along with Poigai Azhwar’s lamp helped Pei Azhwar to see Tirukovalur Perumal.
Azhwar declared himself as the best Tamilian. To prove his expertise in Tamil, he sang that Perumal lives in that mountain where the male elephant plucks young bamboo shoot and blends it in honey to feed the female elephant.
The meaning of this pasuram was understood when Ramanujacharyar explained Dwaya Mantropadesam along with Asthaksharam and Charama Slokam. Sri Anathazhwan said that Ramanujacharyar was the male elephant mentioned in the Budath Azhwar’s pasuram as he mixed the bamboo shoot called Dwaya Manthram in the honey called Asthaksharam and Charama Slokam and fed the sweet mixture to disciples like Anathazhwan.’
