Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- vArik koNdu – AzhwAr thought “Let me fully consume emperumAn so that there is no remainder of him for others”. That is he was eager as per his prayer in thiruvAimozhi 3.3.1 “vazhuvilA adimai seyya vENdunAm” (We should serve continuously). He thought “I will not let anantha, vainadhEya et al serve him”; as said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 31.25 “aham sarvam karishyAmi” (I will serve you both (perumAL and pirAtti) in all ways).
- unnai – You who is sarvaSEshi (lord of all).
- vizhunguvan – For a SEshabhUtha (servitor), kainkaryam (service) is the sustainer.
- kANil – If I see you.
- enRu ArvuRRa – Desired in this manner, i.e. had desire.
- ennai ozhiya – Instead of seeing my insignificance.
- ennil munnam pAriththu – Having more eagerness than I, and desiring for me even before I desired for you. AzhwAr‘s eagerness [to consume emperumAn] was only after he was accepted by AchArya [in AzhwAr’s case, emperumAn himself is the AchArya]; since there is no hurdle for the relationship [between bhagavAn and AthmA], his eagerness is natural.
- thAn ennai – He who is vibhu (omnipresent) and independent, [consumed] me who is aNu (atomic) and dependent.
- muRRap paruginAn – He melted me by manifesting his qualities and activities, and drank me without any remainder; as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 16.65 “vachasA sAnthvayithvainam lOchanAbhyAm pibanniva” (SrI rAma pacified vibhIshaNa by speaking and seeing as if swallowing vibhIshaNa through the eyes); implies that emperumAn interacted with AzhwAr consuming him fully. Previously AzhwAr explained how emperumAn ate him [8th pAsuram – muRRavum thAn uNdAn]; after eating, one will desire for water; so, AzhwAr explains how emperumAn drank him. This is emperumAn’s “uNNum sORu pargu nIr” (food that is eaten and water that is drunk).
- kAr okkum kAtkarai appan – One who appeared in close proximity as a greatly magnanimous personality.
- kadiyanE – He will be quick to enjoy. When both try to enjoy each other, he will not leave any opportunity for the other person.
