Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- mugil vaNNan … – AzhwAr who reached the divine feet of periya perumAL and attained uplifting with his mercy. As AzhwAr had even lost his existence in the previous state, here the word “uyndhavan” (attained uplifting) is used. moy indicates abundance and strength. Here, the strength acquired by the flow of water is considered. One who owns the abode on the banks of thAmirabharaNi which is having water with strong currents and purity of a rich cloth. sErppan – thuRaivan (owner); the chieftain of neydhal (area near water body) land. While saying water with strong currents, it is also said as thU nIr (pure water), since the water remains clear even with the strong currents in it. The chief of the magnanimous AzhwArthirunagari which is having beautiful gardens as said in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 2.5 “ramaNIyam prasannAmbu san manushya manOyathA” (Look at this pure, clear water which resembles the heart of great people).
- mugil … – Those who can practice with true emotions, this decad which is among thousand pAsurams in the form of garlands made of words, on periya perumAL who appears infinitely beautiful like a dark cloud. nampiLLai mercifully said “All the thousand pAsurams in thiruvAimozhi were submitted at the divine feet of periya perumAL. And then, it was distributed to other dhivya dhESams as said in ‘thirumOgUrkkIndha paththu’ (decad submitted to thirumOgUr), ‘thiruvEngadaththukkivai paththu‘ (this decad submitted to thiruvEngadam) and so on; this is similar to bhOgam (food to be offered) first placed for periya perumAL and subsequently allocated to emperumAns of other dhivya dhESams”.
- mugil vaNNa vAnaththu – Explaining that due to the shade of the emperumAn (who has dark complexion) who is present there, the [spiritual] sky is also dark in colour; alternatively, it is explained as the sky of of mugil vaNNan (emperumAn who has dark complexion).
- imaiyavar … – To compensate for the suffering of [those who also became anguished] seeing the mother cry out while the daughter remained unconscious, they will be made to be present with joy and without any responsibility [other than eternal service] amidst the group of nithyasUris and enjoy there.
