Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- Uzhi … – In every kalpa, for the protection of his followers, emperumAn assumes variety of divine forms, divine names and activities.
What is the result of it?
- vaiyam kAkkum – To protect the universe. [It can be understood that the explanation for this point is in the previous point. i.e. protecting the universe means protecting his followers in the universe]
- UzhithORu Uzhi … – Unless he protects the universe like this, nobody will consider him as rakshaka (protector).
- Azhi nIr vaNNanai – Even if he does not protect and engages in torture, he is so beautiful that one cannot leave him. Here AzhwAr is talking about emperumAn having a distinguished form in paramapadham to be worshipped by the residents of paramapadham constantly.
- achchudhanai – Indicating that his form is imperishable; also indicates that he does not abandon those who surrender unto him.
- aNi kurugUr – AzhwArthirunagari which is an ornament.
- kEzhil andhAdhi – Matchless andhAdhi [antha + Adhi – a type of poem where last word/letter of one pAsuram is connected with the first word/letter of the next pAsuram]. This decad is matchless since it reveals AzhwAr‘s great faith in bhagavath vishayam where he could not be withdrawn by either self or others. Also explained as – with this decad which is meant for thiruppEreyil among the matchless thousand pAsurams.
- Azhi am kaiyanai Eththa vallAr – With all of these, it is explained how he became captivated by his beautiful hand and divine chakra combination. While all other beauty is one level, this beauty is on a different [higher] level. It can be seen and enjoyed on [his] hand [visibly].
- avar adimaith thiRaththu AzhiyArE – Implies that they will have the nature of divine chakra while engaging in service [will serve based on emperumAn‘s will]; also implies – they will become so immersed in servitude that no one can withdraw them from that.
In the next article we will enjoy the next decad.
