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

  • anban … – For those who hold his divine feet as the means, as said in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 21.20 “SaraNAgatha vathsala:” (sIthA says – SrI rAma shows motherly love towards those who surrender unto him), he will have great love towards them where he will not see their faults; SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 18.3 ‘dhOshO yadhyapi thasya syAth’ (Even if faults are there in him, let them be). What does he do to their hurdles? They will see the same fate as prahlAdha’s hurdles. One who effortlessly tore apart the body of the demon, hiraNya.
  • nan pon Eyndha madhiL – Fort made of pure gold; attractive fort.
  • thirukkaNNapuraththu anban – The abode where he resides thinking “this is the apt place to protect my devotees”.
  • nALum thana meyyarkku meyyanE – For those who are ananyaprayOjana (not having any expectation other than kainkaryam) towards him, he too remains ananyaprayOjana (not having any expecation other than being with them). For those who have friendly attitude [even if it is superficial], he will remain as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 8.3 ‘nathyajEyam‘ (I will not abandon even if he has faults).

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
