To make the groups of great nithyasUris praise in a disorderly manner due to overwhelming joy saying “you are the enriching medicine to increase our enjoyment”, emperumAn, the great benefactor, brings joy to them; having a dark, divine form, he enslaved me as krishNa who is very easily approachable for all, and is my refuge, who would give the enjoyment of paramapadham. Oh heart! Do not lose him! marundhu is also explained as the medicine which will be the remedy to contain the over-enjoyment.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

  • marundhE nangaL bOga magizhchchikku enRu – Oh one who is the enhancer of the bliss acquired by experiencing you!

When asked “Who says this?” AzhwAr says,

  • perum dhEvar – Those nithyasUris who are untouched by samsAra.
  • kuzhAngaL – They would immerse in emperumAn in groups just as people would step in to a flooded river in groups.
  • pidhaRRum – Just as one who is affected with fever, they would call out in a disorderly manner.
  • karum dhEvan – Having a divine form, with the complexion of a dark cloud.
  • emmAn – One who enslaved me showing that form. He showed me the form which he showed to nithyasUris!
  • kaNNan – Instead of favouring from his high position, he incarnated as krishNa and favoured me.
  • viN ulagam tharum dhEvanaisarvESvara who is ready to bestow paramapadham.
  • chOrEl kaNdAy manamE – Oh heart! Don’t make him become pale! It appears that, AthmA leaving bhagavAn is a loss for bhagavAn. His efforts will go in vain; [why would anyone lose him?] otherwise, instead of realising his greatness, don’t ignore him considering him to be “sulabhan” (easily approachable!)

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
