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

  • niRam kariyAnukku – She said “izhandhadhu mAmai niRam” [in previous pAsuram]; since that complexion went and settled on him, he is doubly shining. He got a unique complexion on top of his natural one. No need to say “neelak karu niRa mEganiyAyaRku” anymore, since there is no match for his complexion anymore. She is talking about the glossy, cool and invigorating form.
  • nIdulagu … – Having the divine lips which reveal how we consumed the expansive earth and placed it in his divine stomach. kiLarugai – speaking; It is said in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 1.1.6 “vaiyamEzhum kaNdAL piLLai vAyuLE” (Mother yaSOdhA saw the entire world in krishNa’s mouth). The divine lips which reveal his saviourship.
  • siRuk kaLvar avarkku – One who secures the huge worlds in his small stomach and hence having inconceivable activities.
  • nIdulaguNda niRam kiLar vAy – Instead of having to hear from someone else’s mouth, she could hear directly from his mouth.
  • siRuk kaLvar avarkku – Having small form, but great eagerness to protect others. He captivated her by manifesting his saviourship and the ability to perform impossible tasks.
  • kaRangiya chakkarak kaiyavanukku – kaRangugai – spinning; one who is having the divine disc in his hands, which is always spinning due to the eagerness to destroy the enemies; not only he is a saviour, his entourage is also eager to protect. Whoever he has in his hands, will be eager to protect. Even SrI pAnchajanyAzhwAn (divine conch) prays to emperumAn “When a hurdle comes about, please blow me and eliminate the hurdle”.
  • en piRangu irum kUndhal – My daughter has nicely rounded and length hair. Also explained as her having very lengthy hair. irumai – greatness; here the greatness is due to the length. piRangudhal – abundance. kUndhal – hair. aimbAl, kUndhal, kuzhal are all synonyms for hair. One who defeats the opponent with her hair, has lost her pride. pIdu – greatness. She lost the greatness which she brings about to him as said in SrI rAmAyaNam AraNya kANdam 37.18 “yasyasA janakAthmajA – apramEyam hi thaththEja:” (One cannot measure the greatness of the one who is married to the daughter of SrI janaka).
