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

  • kodi Er …emperumAn is the beloved consort of pirAtti who is having creeper like slender waist and who took birth from the buds of the lotus flower. AzhwAr is asking “should I lose him even while pirAtti who said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 116-45 “nakaSchin nAparAdhyathi” (there is none who has not committed a wrongful deed) is present with him?”
  • vadi vEl thadam kaN madap pinnai maNALan – nappinnaip pirAtti is having such a sharp spear like eyes where one glance will win over anyone and is having enjoyability beyond anyone’s enjoying ability; emperumAn appears to be born only to enjoy nappinnaip pirAtti’s freshness.
  • nediyAn – One who cannot be comprehended by such divine consorts and associates.
  • uRai … – thirunAvAy which is surrounded by vast gardens which give space to him and his wealth without any limitation.
  • adiyEn – When perumAL [SrI rAma] and [sIthAp] pirAtti set out to leave for the forest, iLaiya perumAL (lakshmaNa) also set out to perform all services as said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 31.25  “bhavAmsthu saha vaidhEhyA girisAnushu ramsyathE” (While you enjoy with sIthA in the foothills of the mountain, I will serve you both in all the ways), here AzhwAr set out to serve them here. Unlike in the case of iLaiya perumAL there is no shortage of those who can engage AzhwAr in service. There, it was only the divine daughter of SrI janakarAja [here both consorts are present],
  • aNugap peRu nAL evaikolO – When will I reach that abode [of thirunAvAy]?
