Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

en thuNai … – She did not have even a little bit of mercy considering that I gave birth to her and raised her as my companion, who will be my refuge.

than thuNai … – Though one does not have love, one will show mercy when one sees a suffering person; she did not even do it.

van thuNai vAnavarkkAy – Being a strong companion means placing him in front of the arrows without caring for self, for dhEvathAs.

varam seRRu – Destroying the boons which were granted by dhEvathAs. He will become a companion only when all that were earned by self are destroyed.

arangaththu uRaiyum … – Just as SrI ayOdhyA was decorated when emperumAn, who is very enjoyable, easily accessible and the protector, entered SrI ayOdhyA after destroying rAvaNa, they [my daughter and her dear companion] had thiruvAli decorated nicely and entered.
