One who is wearing fresh thuLasi which has flowing fragrance, one who is krishNa (who is submissive towards his devotees), one who is the undisputed supreme lord since he does not have a match even in paramapadham where he is the master of nithyasUris (who have matching glory), one who is so pure (that he he purifies even those who are ignorant and don’t have this proper understanding and gives them divine experience); in order to destroy the great diseases (starting with worldly attachments), I have approached emperumAn, fully submerged, bathed, prepared the mouth and fully consumed emperumAn and acquired unsurpassed joy.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kadivAr thaNNanthuzhAyk kaNNan – krishNa who is wearing thuLasi garland which has abundance of fragrance; krishNa who is wearing thuLasi garland which has honey flowing.
- viNNavar perumAn – With this mesmerising form, he wins over nithyasUris such as anantha (AdhiSEsha), garuda et al.
- padi vAnam iRandha paraman – 3 explanations:
- the supreme lord to whom even those nithyasUris are no match
- having supremacy such that even those nithyasUris who are at par with emperumAn are not a match for his true nature
- for his divine form (padi), even cloud (vAnam (sky) represents mEgam (cloud)) is not a match
- paviththiran sIr – having purity to make such divine beautiful form available for samsAris (worldly people) too; sIr – such emperumAn‘s auspicious qualities;
- sediyAr …. – the dense/abundant difficulties (such as avidhyA (ignorance) etc) of this material realm which block my experience of such qualities; approached such emperumAn, experienced him in all directions, deeply immersed in him; I, who am fully existing for him, fully experienced him, placed my feet on the heads of yama et al (won-over death) and became blissful. vAy maduththup parugi – quenched my great thirst.
- kaLiththEnE – Just like worldly matters are filled with sorrow, experience of bhagavAn is fully joyful.
