Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- elliyum kAlaiyum – To be uplifted always thinking without any distinction between night and day about emperumAn, who is the benefactor.
- nalla aruLgaL – The mercy which was granted by emperumAn for his own sake, without seeing my faults and his omniscience. AzhwAr is not just thinking that emperumAn is granting this mercy to eliminate the suffering he went through in the previous decad “mAyakkUththA”.
- namakkE thandhu aruL seyvAn – AzhwAr thinks that even nithyasUris have not received such benediction from emperumAn as said in thiruvAimozhi 7.10.5 “palar adiyAr munbaruLiya” (granting his grace in the presence of many servitors).
- alli am thaNNam thuzhAy mudi – emperumAn manifested the form which was desired by AzhwAr in the previous decad as in thiruvAimozhi 8.5.3 “moy pUndhAmath thaN thuzhAy kadi sEr kaNNip perumAnE!” (Oh emperumAn who is greatest of all, being the lord with the divine crown which is well fitting your head, who is wearing distinguished, dense, attractive, radiant, cool, very fragrant thiruththuzhAy garland!).
- Ur – Since such benefactor is residing there, AzhwAr is saying that thirukkadiththAnam is the ultimate destination for us.
- selvargaL vAzhum – Those who constantly enjoy bhagavAn unlike AzhwAr who had “mAyakkUththA” (suffering in separation) and “elliyum kAlaiyum” (joy in union); as said in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 18.28 “lakshmaNO lakshmI sampanna:” (lakshmaNa who is endowed with wealth of kainkaryam), these are the ones who have the wealth of kainkaryam.
- elliyum … – this is the abode of appan (benefactor); thirukkadiththAnam is the abode of those who have the wealth of kainkaryam; the benefactor who is wearing a crown decorated with cool, attractive thuLasi, will grant us distinguished mercies and shower his grace upon us.
