Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- neRRi … – Accepting my service being seated on my forehead.
- nirai malarp pAdhangaL sUdi – holding his divine, lotus feet that look like a row of flowers
- kaRRaith thuzhAy … – Even if a dry flower is placed on his head, due to the connection with his divine hair, it will become fresh and grow abundantly. Unto the most magnanimous krishNa who is wearing a divine crown which is decorated with fresh thuLasi garlands/leaves.
- oRRaip piRai aNindhAnum … – rudhra who wears a crescent moon in his matted hair and who gives happiness, brahmA who is the father of such rudhra, indhra who manages the dhEvathAs and all other dhEvathAs are longing to serve emperumAn and to attain him; he himself tries to capture me and climbs my head. When the kings travel inside their pleasure/private quarters from one area to another (when they are in happy mood), the confidantes will request and get their tasks done. Similarly, when emperumAn goes from AzhwAr‘s forehead to head, brahmA et al approach emperumAn and get their tasks completed.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
