Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- mARRangaL Ayndhu koNdu – For those who are drenched in devotion, like for those who are climbing hills, cannot speak/sing coherently; the words themselves become aligned properly; through noble words.
- madhusUdha pirAn adi mEl – On the divine feet of the one who has virOdhi nirasanam (elimination of enemies) as a natural attribute.
- nARRam koL … – The gardens too became evergreen as AzhwAr sustained himself thinking “We will surely succeed as we have sent a messenger to his private quarters”. AzhwArthirunagari surrounded by gardens filled with fragrant flowers.
- thORRangaL Ayiram – They are not spoken as said in “mana:pUrvO vAguththara:” (first in mind, then in speech) [they were spontaneously spoken by the grace of emperumAn]. Though he spoke with bewilderment, they appeared like bhagavAn’s incarnations. thORRam – AvirbhAvam (incarnation). Just as rishis will see the manthrams [through their internal vision]. As said in thiruvAimozhi 1.10.11 “sol paNi sey Ayiram” (the thousand pAsurams served by words), entering AzhwAr‘s speech, words thought “let me enter AzhwAr’s speech, be born there, serve AzhwAr purely”, request AzhwAr saying “accept me! accept me!”. The blemish of entering the speeches of avaidhikas is removed only now. As they have now been used by AzhwAr, past and future blemishes for the words will be eliminated as said in thiruppAvai 5 “pOya pizhaiyum pugutharuvAn ninRanavum thIyinil thUsAgum” (previous sins and future sins will be eliminated just as cotton is burnt down to ashes by fire),
- URRinkaN … – These pAsurams have not been learnt before [AzhwAr only revealed them]. That is, AzhwAr is saying “with my sorrowful cry, I have melted the whole world”. [Explaining the present tense in “urugA niRpar”] AzhwAr’s sorrow will end when emperumAn appears in front of him; but since these pAsurams are eternal, those who hear them, will not be able sustain themselves; they will melt like tiny sand particles in a spring, and become broken-hearted. What is the result of this? As melting on hearing the words of great devotees of bhagavAn is also part of the goal, this itself (melting) is the result [for this decad].
In the next article we will enjoy the next decad.
