Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ugandhE unnai uLLum – Instead of the joy which will end in sorrow of separation, my heart will enjoy you with singular focus.
- en uLLaththu – My heart which is said as in thiruvAimozhi 9.4.2 “eNNE koNda sindhaiyadhAy” (desiring in many ways).
- agam pAl agam thAn – Inside the heart. As said in thiruvAimozhi 2.4.7 “uLLuL Avi” (the soul which is inside the heart), the dried soul to become wet again.
- amarndhE – Showing great desire as if it is his goal.
- idam koNda – He fully pervaded in all the space available.
- amalA – Not only seeking for any goal other than the presence in AzhwAr‘s heart, but also not being present for any particular reason. “eNNE koNda sindhaiyadhAy” is not considered as means.
- migum dhAnavan – The dhAnava who is unfavourable without any limit. Not only he negated the existence of emperumAn, he also hurt emperumAn’s life line [SrI prahlAdhAzhwAn]; it is said in SrI bhagavath gIthA 7.18 “… gyAnIthvAthmaiva mE matham” (All [four] of them are generous, but the gyAni is the one who sustains (me) – this is my principle) .
- mArvu agalam iru kURA nagandhAy – Oh one who has the nail which can tear apart the vast-chested hiraNya into two pieces! nagaththAy is written as nagandhAy.
- narasingam adhAya uruvE – You are having the form which is described as in SrIvishNu purANam 1.2.1 “sadhaikarUpa rUpAya” (one who is having unchanging divine auspicious form), in this manner! You are having two forms [lion and human]! With this, it is explained that since emperumAn will arrive immediately on the vow of his devotees, just as he appeared from within a pillar, he pervaded everywhere in my (AzhwAr‘s) heart, and similar to watering the dry lands, you fully allowed me to enjoy you.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
