Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
vanga … – In the vast thiruppARkadal which has no shortage of ships/boats. Just as a mountain is glorified based on the elephants in there, an ocean is glorified by the ships in it. Along with dhEvathAs, sages such as sanaka et al, would submit things for worship such as flowers etc, and praise sarvESvaran saying “Oh you, sarvESvaran, who are our lord! You should mercifully shower your grace to us”; the abode where such sarvESvaran is lovingly residing.
sem kayal … – Beautiful kayal fish, vALai fish would jump in between the red paddy crops seeing the coolness there; sEl fish would joyfully reside in the fertile fields which surround the abode. There, in every street, gem studded mansions which rub the bottom portion of the stomach of moon which roams in the sky, are present.
