Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
aththA ariyE … – As I call out for you saying “Oh my lord! Oh one who eliminated my hurdles!”
piththA enRu … – Others are saying “He is calling incoherently saying ‘aththA’; he is mad”. I think about them as in “These people are speaking incoherently; they are mad” – they are calling me like this.
But you cannot be abandoned just because others are speaking about me in this manner.
muththE … – Oh one who is rejuvenating like a pearl! Oh one who is like an expensive carbuncle Oh one who never fails to give the result! What can I tell about you and abandon you! [I can’t abandon you]
