SUMMARY: Oh Lord Subrahmanya, you protect everyone by providing rice(meals); as a God dedicated to extraordinary happenings and subjects, being present in the Divine Disc of Lord Vishnu (Vishnuchakra), you cure leprosy and other dreadful diseases, besides erasing Brahmahatya and other sins or crimes; you are therefore an ocean of kindness. Oh Lord Subrahmanya, none on earth is comparable to you.

SUMMARY: It is believed that Lord Subrahmanya first manifested in a cave-like anthill in the form of a serpent. This anthill is at Subrahmanya. Earlier, Lord Skanda had spread the Skanda philosophy that spells Lord Subrahmanya as the supreme God. As he totally agreed with the cult that believes in supremacy of Lord Vishnu, being a great Vaishnavite, he later desired to worship Lord Narayana. Sensing that if he were to start worshipping Lord Vishnu in front of all people, they might think that Lord Skanda had cheated them, he started spreading Skanda cult. Consequently, he thought, people might reason out that the opinion of Skanda was not what they perceived. Therefore, he went into the anthill to offer worship to Lord Narayana in complete tranquility, which is what is the point of view of  Sri Vadirajaru.

SUMMARY: Sri Vishnu Tirtharu, younger brother of Sri

Madhwacharyaru, opened a Mutt at Subrahmanya and was living there. Sri Vishnu Tirtharu is an eternal being. Since he and Lord Subrahmanya were living in the same location, Lord Subrahmanya and Sri Vishnu Tirtharu became an intimate friends. Oh Lord Subrahmanya, the destroyer or Tarakasura and remover of sins, a person highly devoted to Lord Krishna and the Lord of Sahyadri mountain range, please bestow Parabrahma upon me as everyone takes shelter under you as stated in Shruti “AdyatE(s)tti cha BhUtAni tasmAdannam taduchyata iti” and since you are the destro

yer of enemies and hailed by Narayana, the Lord who is also known as Anna or Rice. I am begging you for rice as you are the one who provides rice.
