Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- nAraNan … – Seeing those who have the natural lord, the clouds which have pure water, being pleased, became the pUrNa kumbam (golden pots which are given while welcoming revered personalities) on the high sky. Implies – first the clouds became joyful and then they became the pUrNa kumbams. They did not remain content thinking “We raised tumultuous sound of a musical instrument once”. Alternatively, it is explained as the dhEvathAs who wander on the sky placing pUrNa kumbams all over the sky.
- nIr … – Oceans which are having water, instead of remaining content thinking “We danced once”, danced joyfully continuously.
- nedu varai … – The residents of such worlds, planted welcome arches which resembled huge mountains and worshipped too. As said in “ulagam enbadhu uyarndhOr” (world indicates the great personalities who live there), here the residents of such worlds are implied. As said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 16.32 “chathra chAmara pANisthu” (lakshmaNa protected SrI rAma by holding umbrella and fan in his hands and remained with him on the chariot), due to the bliss, they performed all services [to the SrIvaishNavas who are ascending to paramapadham].
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
