Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- nAyagan … – Being the controller of all chEthanas (sentient beings) and achEthanas (insentient entities) , protecting them all by placing them in his divine stomach during deluge, letting them out so that they are not compressed for space inside, having them all as his body to have them identified as “thAn” (himself) in all states and forms, and being untouched by their defects even when he has them all as his body.
- kEsavan adi iNai misai – On the divine feet of sarvESvara who is the killer of kESi. It is explained [by pUrvAcharyas] that “AzhwAr is speaking together the supremacy which was explained in the previous decad and krishNAvathAram where emperumAn killed kESi which is explained in this decad and concludes here in this manner”. Another explanation – also explained as speaking about krishNa’s aspects/activities only as said in mahAbhAratham sabhA parvam 38.23 “krishNa Eva hi lOkAnAm” (krishNa is the cause for all worlds).
- thUya Ayiraththu ippaththAl paththar Avar thuvaL inRiyE – Those who practice this decad will become like AzhwAr. Due to the presence of this decad, the thousand pAsurams are having purity; alternatively – among the thousand pAsurams, since this decad speaks about krishNa’s activities, it can be said as the decad which is having purity.
- thuvaL inRiyE paththar Avar – thuvaL means defect. That is, instead of seeking out other incarnations of emperumAn, they will immerse in krishNAvathAram only.
In the next article we will enjoy the next decad.
