Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- dhEvar munivarkku enRum kANdaRku ariyan – One who is difficult to be seen for brahmA et al [dhEvas] and for sanaka et al [sages] always, by their own efforts.
- mUvar mudhalvan – Incarnating amidst brahmA and rudhra [as vishNu] and controlling them; or being the controller of brahmA, rudhra and indhra.
- oru mU ulagu ALi – Ruling over the three worlds [bhU:, bhuva: and svarga] through indhra; or being the distinguished leader of the three layered universe.
- dhEvan – One who is different from all entities.
- virumbi uRaiyum thirunAvAy – The abode where such emperumAn who is the controller of all, greatly relishes and stays in the abode as if he has no place to stay, thinking “This is the apt abode to protect my devotees”.
- yAvar aNugap peRuvAr ini – I am perishing here; now who will get this! As said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 64.69 “nathEmanushyA:” (they are not humans), they cannot be counted along with humans. With “ini“, it is highlighted that “I am finished”. With “andhO“, it is implied that “Why is he not going through my state?”. “nathEmanushyA:” – they can not be counted along the mortal beings. “dhEvA:” – They have to be counted along with those who can eternally enjoy bhagavAn. “yE chAru Subha kuNdalam …” – Who is that most fortunate person who will get to see the decorated face of emperumAn after surviving for fourteen years [bharathAzhwAn waiting for SrI rAma]? Those who enjoy emperumAn here at a particular time are greater than nithyasUris who enjoy him constantly; thiruviruththam 79 “viNNuLArilum sIriyarE” (those who constantly worship emperumAn here in this word are greater than nithyasUris]. “varshE pancha dhaSE puna:” – Only those who remain in the fifteenth year from now, after spending fourteen years, will get to see SrI rAma. dhaSaratha chakravarthi thinks that his time is up.
