Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- seyginRadhu … – When I saw whatever is happening, it appears to be something [unique] to my eyes. What is that? In this samsAram (material realm) which is inimical towards enjoying bhagavAn’s qualities, there are SrIvaishNavas who make us feel that we are in nithya vibhUthi (paramapadham – spiritual realm).
- mAyaththinAl engum manni – As said in nigaNdu (dictionary) “mAyA vayunam gyAnam” (mAyA (amazing), vayunam (desire), gyAnam (knowledge) are synonyms), with gyAnam in the form of desire, they entered everywhere out of desire.
- aiyam onRu illai – There is no doubt that “the SrIvaishNavas live the vaikuNta life right here”. Also explained as, there is no doubt that “the bad times will change into good times”.
- arakkar … – If those rAkshasas and asuras assume human forms and try to enter like Suka and sAraNa [the servants of rAvaNa] entered SrI vAnara sEnA (the divine monkey army), there is no way for your redemption. Instead of having to search for perfect SrIvaishNavas as in thiruppallANdu 3 “vAzhAtpattu ninRIr uLLIrEl” (if you are engrossed in bhagavath kainkaryam and and stand firm in that nishtai), everyone became engrossed in kainkaryam, and thus ended up having to search if there are any rAkshasas or asuras. This is how the whole samsAram became reformed after hearing thiruvAimozhi 4.10 “onRum dhEvum” decad.
- thoNdIr – As said in manu smruthi “sEvASvavruththi:” (serving others, is dog’s job), you who all are serving worldly aspects, will be tortured [and consumed] by the time [deluge] and time will itself also change; alternative explanation – the devotees of vaikuNtanAthan will destroy you all and also change the bad times into good times.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
