Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ARA madha yAnai adarththavan thannai … – One who annihilated kuvalayApIdam which was uncontrollably intoxicated forever. One who eliminated my hurdles just as he annihilated it.
- sEr Ar vayal – That kuvalayApIdam was working in the fields here [making it to remain muddy]!
- nURE sonna Or Ayiram … – Just as gifts are given in separate packages, AzhwAr sang these pAsurams in hundreds. Just as we see kANdam, parvam etc in mahAbhAratham, SrI rAmAyaNam etc, AzhwAr composed this prabandham in hundreds to facilitate easy memorising/understanding for the readers. This decad will cause pain in the hearts of nithyasUris [This is to say that their hearts will be captured by this decad – as being captured is painful in worldly aspects, similar narration is done by AzhwAr]; alternative explanation – this will bestow the lord of nithyasUris.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
