Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- dheyva nAyagan – sarvESvaran (the supreme lord)
- nAraNan – vathsalan (one who has motherly affection) who will not lose his belongings.
- thirivikkiraman – for those who begged him, he would fulfil their desires even at the cost of destroying his own supremacy.
- adi iNai misai – on the divine feet
- koy koL pUm pozhil sUzh – garden which is always pleasant. Flowers are always ready to be plucked.
- kurugUrch chatakOpan – Different from SrI bhagavath gIthA. [Recited by AzhwAr who is a servitor of emperumAn, instead of emperumAn himself reciting – so it has greater value]
- seydha Ayiram – Though the meanings are the same as in vEdham, unlike vEdham thiruvAimozhi is not authorless. vEdham is similar to [bhagavAn‘s] parathvam [supreme form in paramapadham]; ithihAsams (epics) and purANams (ancient historical texts) are like emperumAn‘s avathArams (incarnations); thiruvAimozhi is like his archAvathAram (deity forms). It is said as “seydha Ayiram” (thousand pAsurams which were created) – just as emperumAn became the son of dhaSarath to eliminate his worry of not having a father, here vEdham became a recital of AzhwAr to eliminate its worry of not having an author.
- udan – pAda vallAr – Those who can sing with intent. Those who can contemplate on AzhwAr’s upAyaSUnyathai (total lack of any other upAyams) and sing.
- vaigalum – vAnOrkku ArA amudhE – They will remain eternally enjoyable by nithyasUris. Just as the dhEvas (celestial beings) become satisfied while receiving amrutham (nectar), nithyasUris would become satisfied on receiving such persons. Since nithyasUris who have taste towards bhagavAn without attachment to any other means, like AzhwAr who is similar to them, those who are able to recite these pAsurams in the same mood will become enjoyable for nithyasUris.
