In the fifth pAsuram, when asked “Are we not talking about emperumAn‘s qualities such as beauty etc?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- punai izhagaL aNivum – Do you think the ornaments appear to have been decked by us on her? [They appear to be disturbed due to embracing by emperumAn]
- Adai udaiyum – Are these clothes worn according to emperumAn’s desire? [Yes]
- pudhukkaNippum – Look at her freshness which resembles freshly watered field!
- ninaiyum nIrmai adhanRu ivatku idhu ninRu ninaikkap pukkAl – Not just starting to think and leaving it subsequently, even if analysed forever, one cannot understand the beauties which she has acquired. Even if one can comprehend the greatness of emperumAn which is incomprehensible as declared by vEdha purusha in thaiththirIya upanishath “yathO vAchO nivarthanthE” (the speech returned), her state cannot be comprehended.
When asked “What did you comprehend from all of these?” parAnguSa nAyaki‘s friend says
- appan thiruvaruL mUzhginaL sunaiyinuL thadam thAmarai malarum – Each flower will blossom to appear that it is spreading all over the pond. She is saying that the residents of this town will not accommodate others. There is no other go for her.
- thiruppuliyUr munaivan – The main leader of this town.
- mU ulagu ALi – The controller of all worlds. One need not seek anyone else for wealth.
- appan – She is saying “appan” [benefactor] due to being satisfied by having acquired all the necessary wealth [from him].
- thiruvaruL mUzhginaLE – How can we retrieve something which is drowned in the ocean? Is it possible for you to redeem her who has drowned in the ocean of emperumAn‘s mercy?
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
