An incident is mercifully explained here &#8211; Once during a thadhIyArAdhanam (distribution of prasAdham to SrIvaishNavas) in the mutt where <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/emperumanar\/\">emperumAnAr<\/a> was residing, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/kidambi-achchan\/\">kidAmbi AchchAn<\/a> was serving water to the SrIvaishNavas while they were eating [In those days, offering water, i.e., pouring water directly into the mouth of those who need water, was a separate service. Since one should not eat\/drink anything with the left hand, this practice of some one pouring water directly into the mouth of those who needed it, existed]. When a SrIvaishNava wanted water, kidAmbi AchchAn goes to him, stands by his side and poured the water. Seeing this from a distance, emperumAnAr rushed to AchchAn and banged on his back and chastised AchchAn saying &#8220;Should you not be pouring water standing across the person to ensure regulated flow of water?&#8221;. Hearing this, AchchAn said &#8220;<em>paNi mAnam pizhaiyAmE adiyEnaip paNi koNda<\/em>&#8221; (engaging me in service without seeing my faults, and reforming me as necessary).<\/li>\n<li><em>paNi koNda maNi mAyan<\/em> &#8211; He did not engage me in kainkaryam saying &#8220;dhaha, pacha&#8221; (burn him, eat him); but by relaxing his upper body cloth (shawl) [manifesting his divine form].
