Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ennai vanjiththu mAya mayakku mayakkAn – emperumAn as krishNa, told the unfavourable ones such as dhuryOdhana et al “I won’t take up arms” but took to arms; turned day into night and deceived them; but did he do any such thing towards pANdavas? [No] Hence, he will not bewilder me who fully exists for him, through his amazing, deceitful acts.
When asked “What is the reason for your saying this?” AzhwAr says,
- Ayan amararkku ari ERu enadhu ammAn – Though he is having supreme greatness over nithyasUris, he, my ultimate well-wisher, incarnated as krishNa and accepted my servitude; [hence] he will not bewilder me with his deceitful acts.
When asked “How did you get this benefit?” AzhwAr says,
- thEsam thigazhum than thiruvaruL seydhu – thUya sudarch chOdhith thanadhu ennuL vaiththAn – He arrived inside me and showered his mercy, to be well known all over the world.
- than thiruvaruL – The distinguished mercy which is seen only in him and no one else. He placed his distinguished divine form which is opposite to all defects, having great radiance and is in pure goodness state, inside me. He manifested his divine form which manifests that he is ananyasAdhya (not attained by the effort of anyone else) as said in muNdaka upanishath 3.2.3 “thasyaisha AthmA vivruNuthE thanUmsvAm” (bhagavAn shows his true form to those who are dear to him).
