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

  • vayiRRil koNdu ninRu ozhindhArum – kshathriyas et al who would care for their citizens just as a mother would have her child (foetus) in her womb and care for it.
  • yavarum – brahmA et al who would care for such kshathriyas as well.
  • vayiRRil … – brahmA et al, kshathriyas et al and the three worlds which are all inside him.
  • tham vayiRRil koNdu – Conducting them in one thousandth fraction of his vow; alternative explanation – having those protectors who care for others, and the three worlds in his stomach, and protecting them.
  • ninRa vaNNam ninRa mAlai – sarvESvara who stood there without any impact to his form even after having all of these in him. I placed sarvESvara who is along with his wealth, in my heart, to not let him leave from there.
  • madhiyAlE – [ammangi] ammAL explains this as AzhwAr saying “I have known about emperumAn’s nature” [mathi is explained as gyAnam]. Alternatively, parASara bhattar explains “mathi: implies anumathi: (permission) – I simply gave him permission”. That is, AzhwAr saying “When he entered, I simply did not stop him” [When emperumAn tries to help us, if we don’t stop him, that is sufficient for him to shower his grace. This is termed as aprathishEdham, vilakkAmai – non-prohibition].
