Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- yAnum Eththi – I, who was blessed by emperumAn with pristine knowledge and devotion, glorifying
- Ezhulagum muRRum Eththi – Everyone irrespective of having or not having distinguished knowledge, glorifying.
- pinnaiyum thAnum Eththilum … – Being svathassarvagya (naturally omniscient), sarvaSakthi (omnipotent) to complete any task he commenced, glorifying. Even if all such persons glorify him at once, the glorified aspects remain small and the remaining aspects to be glorified remain large. There is no distinction between anyaparar (those who are devoted to bhagavAn and other matters also), ananyaparar (those who are exclusively devoted to bhagavAn), those who have limited knowledge and those who have unlimited knowledge, when it comes to seeing the boundary of emperumAn‘s qualities.
When asked “But, why are you engaged in glorifying him?”,
- thEnum pAlum … – I glorified him due to the sweet nature of emperumAn as said in “sarvarasa:” (the source of all taste), and due to emperumAn being the benefactor of manifesting his love towards me and making me engage in glorifying him.
When asked “Just because he is sweet and the benefactor, are you capable of glorifying him?”,
- yAn uyvAnE – If I don’t glorify him, how can I survive?
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
