Other than the spectacularly capable supreme emperumAn who created dhEvas and all other beings through his sankalpam, who else is having such nature to reform all worlds to such strong state and protect them by firmly placing them in his thoughts? emperumAn’s protective nature is emphasised.

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

  • karuththil … kAkkum – The spectacularly capable sarvESvaran out of his own will, creates all dhEvas and other beings; who else other than he, reforms the three worlds (sample for all worlds) to have a strong stable state, keeps them in himself (his mind) and aptly protects them? He protects as stated in SrIvishNu purANam 1.22.19 “nahi pAlana sAmarthyam ruthE sarvESvaram harim | …” (No one other than hari (vishNu) has the ability to protect – this is well known fact).
  • iyalvinarE – Who has this as true nature?
