Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- vaNNam maNi mAda nal nAvAy uLLAnai – One who is mercifully standing in the perfectly enjoyable thirunAvAy which is having mansions which are made with precious gems of many colours.
- thiNNam … – Mercifully spoken by AzhwAr who is the leader of AzhwArthirunagari which is having firm fort. It appears that thirunAvAy has its protection in the fort of AzhwArthirunagari. [Two explanations] Since AzhwAr is caring towards thirunAvAy, that care is the protection for the town; alternate explanation – since AzhwAr is emperumAn‘s wealth and since fort is required where the wealth is, AzhwArthirunagari is fortified and protected [hence emperumAn is also protected since his main wealth is protected].
- paN Ar thamizh – thamizh pAsurams which have abundance of tune.
- maN ANdu – Being opulent with SrIvaishNavaSrI (the wealth of kainkaryam) in this world.
- maNam kamazhvar malligaiyE – Will be fragrant as jasmine. This is highlighted as a representative to indicate that they will attain sAmyApaththi (equivalence) with bhagavAn who is said to be “sarvagandha:” (root of all fragrance). It is said that AzhwAr‘s desire is the reason for their attainment of the ultimate goal.
