Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
pEr aNindhu … – As all the residents of the world gather and constantly fall at his divine feet, praise him by reciting his divine names and surrender unto him, he gives them his mercy to such an extent that it is beyond their surrender; in this manner he became my benefactor. Both periya pirAttiyAr who has eternal youth, using which she involves the divine heart of sarvESvaran towards her and makes him ignore the defects of the devotees as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 116-45 “nakaSchin nAparAdhyathi” (there is none who has not committed a wrongful deed) and SrIbhUmip pirAtti who would say “Why first see the mistake, then forgive? [Just don’t see the mistakes]” are the teachers for him in the matter of patience.
sIr … – To start with, thirunAngUr is more wealthy in comparison to the wealth in the world; in the dhivyadhESam sembonsey kOyil, which is in the perfect centre of such city where such wealth is revealed through the beautiful mansions.
kAr aNi … – I got to enjoy with my eyes, the emperumAn who is having a beautiful form which is similar to a cloud in the rainy season, which is about to pour down, and got relieved from the state as said in thaiththirIya upanishath “asannEva” (as good as achith) and became enlivened as said in the same upanishath “santhamEnam” (to be considered as chith) and became satisfied – says AzhwAr.
