Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- thiRambAmal … – To ensure that one person’s clothes are not worn by seven persons [to maintain some order], and as said in thaiththirIya upanishath “bhIshAsmAth vAtha:pavathE” (fearing bhagavAn‘s orders, wind is blowing), I am protecting the earth. She said “I lifted the gOvardhana hill and ensured that not even a single drop of rain touched a cow or a cowherd boy”. She also said “I completely destroyed the groups of asuras without leaving anyone behind”.
- thiRam kAtti … – Manifesting my qualities in this world; she said “I protected pANdavas back then by showing partiality towards pANdavas by changing day to night, taking up arms after vowing not to do so and showing the life spot of the enemies”. He made arjuna who said in SrI bhagavath gIthA 1.32 “na kAnkshE vijayam krishNa” (Oh krishNa! I don’t have any desire for victory) to say as in SrI bhagavath gIthA 18.73 “karishyE vachanam thava” (I will execute your words immediately).
- thiRambAmal kadal … – She said “I was the one who churned the great ocean using the manthar mountain as the hand-mortar, without having it overflow in any direction, similar to curd being churned inside a pot without spilling anywhere”.
- thiRambAdha kadal vaNNan … – Did sarvESvaran who has unlimited capabilities to have no one violate his rules, come and enter her?
- thiRambAdha ulagaththIrkku … – What shall I say to you who are determined not to leave this place without hearing the explanation from me? What shall I say about my daughter who is equivalent to lakshmI, who attained that which cannot be withdrawn by any of our advice? How can some one in the shore explain about a person who is deep in the ocean?
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
