Highlights from periyavAchchAn piLLai‘s vyAkyAnam

See nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam.

periyavAchchAn piLLai says while commenting on “kodiyA adu puL uyarththa vadivAr” that the reason AzhwAr quoted garudAzhwAr here is to highlight that emperumAn considers the ones who surrenders now to be the same as nithyasUris.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

• kadivAr thIya vinaigaL – emperumAn who has the quality of removing the cruel sins which cannot be eliminated by an individual’s self-effort even when tried perpetually.

In 8th pAsuram, AzhwAr says “vazhininRa valvinai mALviththu” – once surrendered, emperumAn will remove the sins. In 9th pAsuram, AzhwAr says “irumai vinai kadivAr” – since he is with srI mAhAlakshm, he will remove the sins. When asked “How long will it take for him to remove the sins?”, AzhwAr says “in a second”.

• nodiyArum aLAvaikkan – the time measurement that lasts a second – indicates “immediately”.
• kodiyA adu puL uyarththa vadivAr – vadivu is explained as svabhAvam (nature/characteristic) and rUpam (form). Evenas one sees the garuda flag from the di’/stance,  one can understand the nature of emperumAn having garudAzhwAr (who destroys the enemies) as/in his flag. vadivAr also means “having a beautiful form”.
• vadivArmA – mA indicates srI mahAlakshmi. Here vadivAr is an adjective for thAyAr – the one who has complete form, beautiful form, suitable form.
• mAdhavanAr – Only if pirAtti is advising him by being nearby, he will remove the sins.  pirAtti says “On one side, there is birth and on the other side, there is death. In between there are diseases. How can you see his (the one who surrenders) mistakes? If you have to cite the mistakes and ignore him (to suffer in this samsAram), you have to give up on every one. Forgive him” and emperumAn says “forgiven” to satisfy her.

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
