The greatly enjoyable divine lotus feet of emperumAn measured and accepted his own earth and higher world without leaving anything; as the residents of this world worship them considering them to be exclusively enjoyable for them and as the residents of paramapadham too arrive here to attain him at thirukkadiththAnam, you try to keep that town in your heart to eliminate all your sorrows.

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

  • koLmin … – Think about thirukkadiththAnam in your heart; that will eliminate all your sorrows.
  • gOvindhan – sarvasulabhan’s.
  • maN viN muzhudhum aLandha oN thAmarai  emperumAn measured and accepted the earth and the sky with a lotus flower.
  • maNNavar thAm thozha – to be worshipped by the residents of earth, who don’t know to distinguish between left and right hands; as paramapadham remains exclusively for nithyasUris [and mukthAthmAs], dhivya dhESams [which are said in thamizh as ugandharuLina nilam] remain exclusively for samsAris (worldly people).
  • vAnavar … – thinking about emperumAn‘s simplicity of manifesting himself for the sake of samsAris, nithyasUris too approach thirukkadiththAnam – keep it in your heart/mind to eliminate your sorrows fully. The residents of samsAram (material realm) go to paramapadham to enjoy his supremacy; the residents of paramapadham (spiritual realm) come to samsAram to enjoy his simplicity.

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
