BOODAT ALWAR - INCARNATION OF KAUMODAKI (DEVINE MACE)
BOODAT ALWAR IS SECOND of the Mudal Alwars. Mudal alwars are born (made to appear) on three consecutive days in SIDHDHARTHI year, 7th century A.D. All three babies were made to appear on different flowers. Boodat Alwar was born in KADALMALLAI (near Mahabalipuram) above a KURUKKATHTHI (Maadhavi latha) flower in a garden. Boodat Alwar composed 100 paasurams "IRANDAM THIRUVANDHADI" . The verse means - I dedicate myself to the Lord with - LOVE as LAMP and endearing involvement as fuel and GNANA (knowledge) as the wick of the torch

ALL the three mudal alwars appeared above some flower bud due to God's grace. Present day we may not be able to understand how it is possible, but Lords' manifestations are beyond our comprehension. Namm Alwar addressed all the three Alwars as INKAVI PADUM PARAM KAVIGAL, meaning great poets who sang loveliest / sweetest songs. All the three, not known to each other, were singing glories of Lord Srimannarayana and were visiting place of Narayana and having DARSHAN of Lord. At some point Lord Vishnu wanted them together. They reached Thirukkovilur where Lord Vishnu is in form of Vaamana, who measured entire universe within TWO feet.

Due to heavy rain there POIGAI Alwar had to take shelter at a place. After a little while BHUDAT Alwar knocked the place for shelter. Being bhaktha, help was offered by POIGAI Alwar and the same place was shared by TWO persons by sitting. Soon there was another knock and the THIRD PEYA Alwar was there in rain. The first two Alwars offered help to him by adjusting & standing in the same place. They were discussing the attributes of glorious TRIVIKRAMA Sreemannarayana. Suddenly they felt crammed by another person - Lord Srimannarayana Himself.
