In the sixth pAsuram, AzhwAr says “SrIvaishNavas spread everywhere singing and dancing to remove the sorrows of everyone, you also give up any doubts regarding supremacy of other dhEvathAs and save yourself by surrendering unto emperumAn“.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

  • konRuyir … – Disease which can shed one’s body and snatch the vital airs. Alternative explanation – disease which can separate the vital airs from the body and finish the body. In this second explanation – uyir means body. Enmity and hunger which can also do the same.

When asked “Why is each one of them individually highlighted?”, AzhwAr says “to have those lowly aspects”,

  • ninRu ivvulagil kadivAn – destroyed without leaving behind anything.
  • nEmip pirAn thamar pOndhAr – Those who were captivated by the beautiful combination of his hand and the chakra, arrived.
  • nanRu … – Singing distinguished songs, dancing by jumping up and down, and spreading out everywhere in this manner.
  • senRu thozhudhu uymmin – You go towards them, worship/serve them and be saved; also explained as – you worship/serve sarvESvaran along with them and be saved.
  • thoNdIr – You who are serving unsuitable matters. You who are qualified to be reformed.

While doing that,

  • sindhaiyaich chenniRuththiyE – Worship in such a manner that you don’t say as in “dhEhi mE dhadhAmi thE” (I give you something and you give me something back) [i.e., worship purely, without expecting anything in return].
