Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
minnu mA … – The huge clouds which have fully absorbed water and are holding lamp in the form of lightning to suppress their darkness, have arrived on the invigorating thirumalA; emperumAn is having such thirumalA as his eternal abode; sarvESvaran who incarnated as a swan to rescue the vEdham for brahmA et al, rescued it for them and was easily approachable for them in that manner. He is praised here.
kanni … – AzhwAr who is the leader for the residents of thirumangai which is having a huge fort which is being a protective layer, and is unable to be destroyed by anyone, mercifully spoke this decad in sweet thamizh; for those who can sing it; since this decad is having meanings which are recited towards bhagavAn with deep attachment, just as vEdham, this will also remain forever. The greatness of this decad is similar to that of vEdham.
idam Agum vAn ulagE – They will have as their abode the place where their servitude which was pursued by them will remain eternal.
