Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- pIdudai … – The creator of chathurmuka brahmA who has the ability to create the 14 layered universe. pIdu – greatness.
- mAdu … – mAdu – wealth. Opulent earth; mAdu also means spacious implying expansive earth. For the one who captured her through his mischievous act of mercifully measuring the world and made her exist exclusively for himself.
- nAdu … – The one who went as the messenger for pANdavas who owned the kingdom and hence became complete. Here AzhwAr is highlighting pANdavas as “nAdudai mannarkku” based on bhagavAn’s opinion, while dhuryOdhana et al were ruling the kingdom saying “we will not even give a small town for pANdavas”. sankshEpa rAmAyaNam 85 “abhishiSyacha lankAyAm” (SrI rAma crowned vibhIshaNa as the king of lankA and felt satisfied).
- nambikku – By the act which is highlighted in periya thirumozhi 2.2.3 “innAr thUdhan ena ninRAn” (He stood as a certain person’s messenger), he stood with pride. He captured her qualities by manifesting his qualities such as creating the universe to start with, redeeming it by measuring it when some one claims ownership and making it exist for his devotees by performing menial acts.
- en pAdudai algul – One who is having spacious waist/thigh region. pAdu – space. The physical beauty which will even melt women as seen in mahAbhAratham “pumbhAvam manasA yuyu:” (The women who saw the waist region of dhraupadhi acquired masculinity). Just as emperumAn being explained as in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 3.29 “pumsAm dhrushti chiththApahAriNam” (SrI rAma’s beauty will even attract the eyes and mind of men).
