Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kaithavam semmai – dishonesty and honesty.
- karumai veLumai – black and white.
- mey poy – truth and lie.
- iLamai mudhumai – youth and old-age.
- pudhmai pazhamai – modern and ancient.
- seydha … – highlights the craftsmanship in facilitating a fresh look in it [fort], even after passing ages.
- peydha kAvu kaNdIr – Look! This is the garden placed by emperumAn.
- perum dhEvudai mU ulagE – The three layered world which has dhEvathAs who considered themselves to be lords. mU ulagu – the world which has higher, middle and lower layers. The principle explained by this – the garden will not know to ask for protection; having the nature of withering after a while, and the one who created it himself taking care of it subsequently; similarly irrespective of one being a lord [dhEvathA] or controlled [humans etc], everything is working per his directive. (AzhwAr is implying that even his romantic fight with emperumAn was not done by AzhwAr’s sanction [but occurred per the will of emperumAn].)
