Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- mudi sEr senni ammA – Oh sarvESvara who is having divine head which is with a divine crown which reveals your supremacy over everyone else!
- nin moy pUm dhAmath thaN thuzhAy – Oh sarvESvara who is wearing an invigorating thuLasi garland, which is densely strung together, which is heart-captivating, radiant, and having its fragrance increasing, as days pass!
- enRu enRu – Are you remaining inactive thinking that I will recite this once and leave it?
- Engi azhudhakkAl – As I sob and cry. As you hear my helplessness in my cry, should you not come and immediately present yourself?
- padi sEr magarak kuzhaigaLum – Fitting as part of the divine form, or fitting well on the divine form; also explained as naturally fitting, and fitting on the divine form. It is said in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 85 “padi kaNdaRidhiyE” (Have you not seen and enjoyed his divine form?) [this explains that padi refers to form].
- pavaLa vAyum – The divine lips which manifest the relationship/attachment.
- nAl thOLum – The four shoulders which resemble well-branched kalpa tharu (celestial wish-fulfilling tree), which are available to embrace us.
- thudi … – His form appears like a cloud which is having damaru like waist. Since these attributes are not present in a cloud, this is called abhUthOpamA (a non-existing simile).
- thU nIr mugil – Cloud which has absorbed pure water. You should present yourself so that all your internal coolness and compassion are visible in your form itself.
