Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
thU vadivil … – With SrI bhUmip pirAtti who has a form which is opposite to all defects, who has the earth as her form and who is the controlling deity of earth, and periya pirAttiyAr who has lotus flower as her abode; the divine weapons which protect this togetherness, appear radiantly as if the moon and sun rose together.
sudar … – When emperumAn remains with his divine consorts and the divine weapons, he appears like a kalpaka tree branching out well.
kA vadivil kaRpagamE pOla ninRu – Not just a single kalpaka tree, but appearing like a garden of kalpaka trees, viz. emperumAn being the benefactor of all desires.
kalandhavar … – For those who look up to emperumAn’s hands saying “We are not responsible for our protection; it is your responsibility”, he eagerly shows his great mercy.
sEvadi … – After seeing his divine form, can we even abandon him if he does not shower mercy?
thI vadivil … – The dhEvathAs appear as if the fire has taken into a shape. The residents of thirukkOvalUr can themselves perform creation and annihilation.
