Highlights from nanjIyar‘s introduction
In the seventh pAsuram, AzhwAr says “I don’t need the bhagavath anubhavam (enjoying bhagavAn) which is considered as the independent goal; but I would like to unite with bhAgavathas and engage in bhagavath anubhavam for the pleasure of bhAgavathas”.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- thani mA … – To have the incomparable, best qualities remain forever.
- thAn – one who has primordial matter as his body.
- thAn thOnRi – Being complete while there is no one who could pray to him to engage in creation, for his own satisfaction, appeared saying as in thaitithirIya upanishath “bahu syAm” (let me become many).
- muni mAp pirama mudhal viththAy – Being the parabrahma, the ultimate cause, which vows. muni – desireless. As a mother would worry for her son who has gone to a distant country, parabrahma himself being the three causes (upAdhAna kAraNa (material cause), nimiththa kAraNa (ancillary cause) and sahAkAri kAraNa (instrumental cause)) worrying for the jIvAthmAs who are in subdued state.
- ulaga mUnRum muLaippiththa – He made sure that all the resulting entities blossom from him; this is how his sankalpam of creating many universes was.
- thani … – Entering under the divine feet of the unparalelled supreme lord; this is the objective of creation. For a chEthana (sentient being), it is apt to surrender unto the divine feet of the benefactor.
- anRi – leaving that aside.
- avan adiyAr … – To eternally have the greatly distinguished union with such SrIvaishNavas who have offered themselves to him seeing such benefactorship.
- nangatkE – For us who desire for this and think “this is the ultimate goal”, this should occur forever.
