Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- yavarum yAvaiyum ellAp poruLum – During praLayam, consuming all such entities such as chEthanas (sentient) and achEthanas (insentient) and keeping them in his stomach
- kavarvinRi – without crushing/troubling them (in his stomach)
- thannuL odunga ninRa – As explained by mArkaNdEya rishi to yudhishtra in mahAbhAratham AraNya parvam “thadhapaSyam aham sarvam thasya kukshau mahAthmana:” (I have seen inside vishNu’s stomach all movable/immovable objects which are seen here now). It can also be explained as within a small portion of his divine will.
- pavarkoL gyAnaveLLach chudar mUrthi – Having the vast abundant knowledge that is required to protect them, and having a divine form that manifests his emotions “I am so happy to protect them”.
- em Azhi am paLLiyArE – Since he is in this samsAram (material realm), he speaks on behalf of all the residents here and says “to protect us, you have descended here and having this kshIrArNavam as a beautiful bed”. It is explained in thamizh nigaNdu (grammar book) “pAyalum paLLiyum pAzhiyum padukkai” (Bed is indicated by the following words pAyal, paLLi, pAzhi). Thus, he is the ISwara (lord and master) because he is the one who helps during difficulties and he is most beautiful.
