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

  • sevigaLAl Ara – for the full satisfaction of the ears.
  • nin kIrththik kani ennum kavigaLE – the poems which are like ripen fruits which are in the form of glorification. Due to the extreme enjoyment, instead of saying the poems which are like fruits, it is said that, ripen fruit became a poem.
  • kAlam … – Like proud princes will eat the best fruits soaked in honey, mixing your glories in the form of a fruit with the music matching the season in the form of honey, so that there is more honey than fruit.
  • thuRRu – enjoying that.

When asked “Isn’t this experience found in paramapadham only?”,

  • puviyin mEl – [In this earth itself.] When some one is hungry in one place, he cannot be fed elsewhere. One should be given food, where he is hungry.
  • pon nedum sakkaram – As the place was set to be here, the matter of joy should also remain the same [bhagavAn from paramapadham]. [But would bhagavAn have chakra in his hand in paramapadham?] SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 114.15 “thamasa: paramO dhAthA SankachakragadhAdhara:” (the one who resides in paramapadham which is beyond the material realm, the one who holds Sanka (conch), chakra (disc), gadhA (maze)) – only you who is identified as having the attractive, endlessly enjoyable divine chakra.
  • avivinRi Adharikkum – engaged in him without any break. Instead of realizing you are difficult to attain, my prANa desired for you like an easily attainable aspect.
  • enadhu AviyE – My prANa will not listen when said “we should wait for emperumAn to come at his own will”. It is of the nature as said in thiruvAimozhi 9.9.6 “avan aruL perum aLavil nillAdhu” (My prANa cannot wait for him to come and give his mercy).
