vyAkyAnams (commentaries)

Highlights from thirukkurukaippirAn piLLAn‘s vyAkyAnam

See vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s translation.

Highlights from nanjIyar‘s vyAkyAnam

See nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam.

Highlights from periyavAchchAn piLLai‘s vyAkyAnam

See nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam.

periyavAchchAn piLLai beautifully connects “magizh koL sindhai sol seygai“.

• magizh koL sindhai – my heart should be filled with love when I hear about you.
• sol – the overflowing words reflecting such love
• seygai – the action that follows those loving words

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

• magizh koL dheyvam – celestial beings (residing in heaven etc) who have better bhOgya (joy), bhOgOprakaraNa (tools for enjoyment) and bhOga sthAnam (abodes of enjoyment) in comparison with those of humans.
• ulOgam – As said in “lOkyatha ithi lOka:” (because it is seen, it is called lOka), achith (insentient matter), which is perceivable through our five senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin).
• alOgam – alOka – chith (sentient – soul), that which cannot be perceived by our senses and can only be understood through SAsthram.
• magizh koL sOdhi – Those radiant objects. It can be explained as chandhra (moon), sUrya (sun). Oh sarvESvara who created these!
• malarndha – Since it is his own expansion as said in thaiththiriya upanishadh “bahu syAm“, AzhwAr says “malarndha” (blossomed). brahmam (bhagavAn) with chith (sentients) and achith (insentient) is both cause and effect [In causal state (before creation), brahmam has chith and achith in subtle state and after creation, chith and achith become manifested in gross state].

When asked by emperumAn “Whatever you have said is done by me! What should I do now for you?”,

• magizh koL … – you should make my heart become joyful by experiencing you; you should make the same to my speech too; my actions should become loving service to you; I too should exclusively experience you and feel blissful; you should arrive here for me to experience you always.
