Highlights from nanjIyar‘s introduction
In the eighth pAsuram, AzhwAr became anguished since he did not attain the result as desired; hence he prays saying “It does not matter whether you wish to shower your mercy or you wish to avoid me; now mercifully allow me to think about you without getting bewildered”.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- aruLAdhu ozhivAy – You can remain without showering your mercy upon me considering “let him suffer”.
- aruL seydhu – Or, you can see my pitiful state and bless me.
- adiyEnai … – To turn me who is as good as asath [achith (insentient) matter] to become a vasthu [chith (sentient matter)] as said in thaiththirIya upanishath “santhamEnam” (to exist), and place me under your perfectly enjoyable divine feet, if you desire so.
- maruLE inRi … – Just as you gave unblemished knowledge and devotion as said in thiruvAimozhi 1.1.1 “mayarvaRa madhinalam aruLinan” (blessed unblemished knowledge and devotion), to have you in my mind always without a trace of ignorance, you should give me the clarity which is explained in thiruvAimozhi 2.9.4 “thanakkEyAga enaik koLLum IdhE” (he should accept me for his own sake). then thirunAvAy en dhEvE – theruLE tharu – is the operational phrase; alternatively – piLLAn explains this as “maruLE inRi unnai en nenjaththu iruththum theruLE tharu then thirunAvAy en dhEvE! aruLAdhu ozhivAy, aruL seydhu adiyEnaip poruLAkki un ponnadik kIzhp pugavaippAy; (Oh my lord in the well-organized thirunAvAy! Without a trace of ignorance, give me the clarity to place you in my heart; whether you bless me by making me an entity and placing me at your divine feet or not bless me, do it as per your divine heart’s wish”.
