Dear srivaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

Just another link in 4000 prabhandham where reference to the teaching of
geetha is mentioned. 

First the paasuram- 

marumagan than santhathiyai uyir meettu maiththunanmaar
urumagaththE veezhaamE guru mugamaaik kaaththaan oor

thiru mugamaaich chengamalam thiru niRamaaik karunguvaLai
poru mugamaai ninRalarum punal arangam enbadhuvE

4 - 8 - 3 periyaazhvaar [maadhavaththOn padhigam] 

See here guru mugamaai - as a teacher who taught - is a direct reference to
teaching of geetha 

2 incidents referred here are very clear relating to maha bhaaratham

1.	Marumagan than santhathiyai - the ward of abhimanyu  - in the womb
of uththarai - later king parikshith - saved by none else than krishNa when
uththarai delivered the charred body - due to the paaNdava asthiram sent by
aswaththaama - krishna gave life to that charred portion - that "nithya
brahmachaari touch" gave life - uyir meettu.

2.	Maiththunanmaar - the 5 paaNdavaas were saved from going down as
great sacrifice in the war with those kouravaas, when arjuna - the mainstay
of paandavaas refused to fight - he, the great lord of lords krishNa, became
a teacher in that war arena - to teach that greatest of great epic srimadh
bhagavath geethaa - gurumugamaaik kaaththaan.
 
That krishNa's place is here - it is srirangam.

Dhasan

 Vasudevan m.g.

PS: since madhavak kannan replied this query first, I wish to add
incidentally this padhigam also starts with "maadhavaththOn" . - that
relationship - maadhavan - govindhan - kannan has shown me this reference,
when I was going through the periyaazhvaar padhigams for a reference to my
on going series of govindhan gunam paaduthal.
