Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- pulambu sIr – His qualities are such that they are glorified by everyone like done by AzhwAr.
- bUmi aLandha perumAn – AzhwAr praised the sarvaswAmy (supreme lord of all) [not some ordinary person] who measured the world [by stretching his foot] and eliminated its anya SEshathvam (being ruled by some one other than bhagavAn) and svasvAthanthryam (independence) through his pAsurams.
- nalam koL sIr – AzhwAr who has the SrIvaishNavaSrI (wealth of being a SrIvaishNava) due to craving greatly for bhagavAn. That is, his sensory organs craving like chEthana (sentient), that too each sense craving for the activity of all other senses, himself craving for all of those activities. The words of nammAzhwAr who is the leader of the wonderful AzhwArthirunagari, who is having the goodness of desiring for experience of bhagavAn and who is with qualities such as gyAna etc.
- valam koNda … – [valam is explained as surrounding/circumambulating and balam (strength)] Circumambulating and consuming bhagavAn who is revealed in these pAsurams [i.e., clearly explaining about bhagavAn]. Also explained as having the ability (strength) to explain the meanings clearly.
- ilangu vAn … – When this unparalleled decad is recited, irrespective of the nature and qualities of the individual, one will attain paramapadham which has the distinguishing aspect of experience of bhagavAn without any break. As said in chAndhOgya upanishath “sa EkadhA bhavathi …” (that liberated person will assume one form, three forms, many forms and serve emperumAn), they will enter paramapadham where they will assume many forms and the sensory organs in each of those [divine] forms can enjoy emperumAn fully.
