Search files for a string in the remote machine

Hi all,
I want to search the files in a remote machine for a particular string. The SSH command I wrote is giving an error even when the syntax is correct.
ssh user@hostmachine find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;
The error it gives is find: missing argument to `-exec'

When the following command is executed on a local machine, it is working fine
find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;

Please let me know where I'm wrong....

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
