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

  • anRi maRRu Or upAyam en ivaL am thaN thuzhAy kamazhdhal – Can there be any other reason for this beautiful, cool thiruththuzhAy’s fragrance on her? Would anyone have the fragrance of the sandalwood paste, without embracing the prince? Is my body or your body having this fragrance of thiruththuzhAy? Inner, true meaning – this “andhaN thuzhAy kamazhdhal” implies their acknowledgement of the union of parAnguSa nAyaki and thiruppuliyUr emperumAn.
  • kunRam … – Having attractive, abundant collection of mansions and palaces which are as tall as hills, being built with precious gems. The amazing lord who is standing in kuttanAttuth thiruppuliyUr which looks like a thilak for the southern direction. He is with great qualities to be said as “she is not a match for him”. You are thinking that he is not a good match for her; but the residents of this town think that she is not a good match for him.
  • thiruvaruLAm ivaL nErpattadhE – She attained him by his divine mercy. When asked “Is his divine mercy the only sign for their union? Is there any other sign?” parAnguSa nAyaki‘s friend says “anRi maRROr upAyamen ivaL andhaN thuzhAy kamazhdhal“.
