Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

[Since no incarnation of emperumAn is separately highlighted here, it is considered to be focussing on the emperumAn who is resting on causal ocean who was highlighted in the previous pAsuram.]

  • kaRpagak kAvu … –  emperumAn showcased his divine limbs and captured her body.  Like a garden of kaRpaga tree, having many shoulders which are even more beautiful than such a garden.
  • poRchudar … – Wearing a divine crown which matches his divine head which resembles a radiant and attractive golden hill. pU could also mean flower garland, implying that his crown is decorated with garland. This is representative for all his ornaments.
  • naRpala … – One who is having many beautiful, divine hands which are like fresh lotus flower.
  • en viRpuruvak kodi – My daughter who is having bow like eyebrow (and like a tender creeper). Like someone who had brahmAsthram [the greatest weapon] at their disposal yet got defeated, she lost even with the presence of her eyebrow!
  • thORRadhu meyyEemperumAn showed his form which is said as in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 40.10 “Urdhvam mAsAn na jIvishyE” (sIthAp pirAtti says – I will not survive for more than a month without seeing SrI rAma), and won over her form which is said as in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 66.10 “na jIvEyam kshaNamapi” (SrI rAma says – I will not survive even for a moment without seeing sIthA). Implies that her body is no longer under her control.
