Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- uRRArgaL enakku illai yArum ennum – She said “there is no relative for me due to a particular reason [based on one’s karma]”. Alternative explanation – there is no one who knows his/ her true relationship with me and be friendly/devoted towards me. Even after reciting as said in nArAyaNa sUktham “pathim viSvasya” (he is the lord of the entire universe), they will go and worship other dhEvathAs [Just reciting verses mechanically and not putting the principle into practice].
- uRRArgaL enakku ingu ellArum ennum – She said “there is no one who is not a natural relative to me”. That is, though they themselves would not show natural attachment towards me , I would manifest natural relationship and care towards them.
- uRRArgaLaich cheyvEnum yAnE ennum – She said “I will select some of them and make them approach me”.
- uRRArgaLai azhippEnum yAnE ennum – She said “if they become attached to worldly pleasures, I will bestow those pleasures to them and push them away from me”. Alternative explanation – iLaiyaperumAL a disciple of mudhaliyANdAn mercifully explained as heard from ANdAn – she said “I will destroy them [their worldly pleasures] by manifesting my beauty etc”.
- uRRArgaLukku uRREnum yAnE ennum – She said “for those who are exclusively devoted to me, I too will be exclusively committed to them”. Alternative explanation – for those who consider me as all types of relatives, I too consider them the same way.
- uRRAr ili – Did the amazing sarvESvaran who has never been attained by any one on his/her own effort until now, enter her?
- uRRIrgaL … – When told “Why are you doubting like this? Why don’t you explain clearly to the relatives?”, parAnguSa nAyaki‘s mother says “Shall I simply say because you are relatives? Should there not be something to say? How can I explain this?”.
They ask, “Why are you saying like this?”, she says,
- uRRu … – My very young daughter have clearly understood about emperumAn and is speaking [about emperumAn]; how can I, who am just in the shore, [understand it and] explain it? Since the divine mother mood is also a state of mind of AzhwAr himself [just as parAnguSa nAyaki mood is also a state of mind of AzhwAr], why is she faltering to explain [why could she not understand and explain it herself]? As ISvaran is explained in thiruvAimozhi 8.4.6 “thanakkum than thanmai aRiyAn” (emperumAn himself does not know the limits of his greatness), here AzhwAr’s state cannot be understood even by herself.
