Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- seelam ellai ilAn – On the divine feet of emperumAn who has boundless simplicity/qualities. His great simplicity is what is explained in this decad; AzhwAr is summarising it here.
- aNi kOla nIL kurugUrch chatakOpan sol mAlai – AzhwAr who has thirunagari which is abundantly beautiful. Alternatively – as “kOL nIL” is present, “aNi” can be read along in “adi mEl aNi – mAlai” (the garland which decorates the divine feet).
- AyiraththuL ivai paththinin pAlar – Those who are close to this decad. By having some proximiity through plain recital, memorising it or meditating upon the meanings.
- vaigundham … – Ascending to paramapadham is apt [sure to go]. AzhwAr greatly desired to go to paramapadham as said in thiruvAimozhi 9.3.7 “mAga vaigundham kANbadhaRku Egam eNNum“; for those who are associated with this pAsuram, it need not be prayed for, but it will occur certainly. The wealth of the father will naturally belong to the son, due to the relationship [we will inherit whatever AzhwAr attained, as his children/descendants].
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
