Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
kalai … – sUrpaNakA who appeared with shining clothes on her wide thigh region and is celebrated by the whole demoniac clan. She appeared presenting her clothes and femininity.
kAdhu … – He eliminated her assumed form and made her regain her real form.
kadhaRi … – Subsequently, emperumAn who has mighty shoulders made her cry out, place her hand on her head and run towards lankA which is atop the mountain and enter there. His eternal abode.
silai … – “silai” is a synonym for “vil“. vil (bow) indicates light; the trident which is seen atop the gem studded mansions which are studded with shining gems. This is how the homes are in this town. The clouds will gather pearls from the ocean and move slowly without being able to move swiftly; the tridents atop the palaces will tear the bottom of the stomach of the clouds; the clouds which are ready to shower, will pour the pearls.
malai ilangu mALigai mEl malivu eydhum – At that time, the pearls are heaped to make it appear as if one mountain is standing on another.
