Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- anRi … – Even prayOjanAntharapara (those who expect benefits other than kainkaryam) are speaking the words of ananyaprayOjana, to have his presence. Forever calling out incoherently saying “Other than your highness, we have no refuge”.
- ninRu – Remaining put there, until they accomplish the task just as the ananyaprayOjanas would do.
- nAnmugan … – chathurmuka (four-headed) brahmA, rudhra and all the celestial beings approach him.
- venRu … – This is the abode of the one who has as his main routine, protecting [the surrendered ones] from their enemies, protecting this three-layered universe which is meant for them.
- nanRu nAm ini naNgudhum – (ini nAm nanRu naNugudhum (now, we will approach him well)) – as he is the protector of all, we, who have desire to be protected, should approach him well. We will approach him as ananyaprayOjana unlike kAlayavana, jarAsandha et al who approached krishNa in SrI mathurA and unlike brahmA et al who approached kshIrAbdhi (milk ocean) as said in thiruviruththam 92 “nINagar nILeri vaiththaruLAy” (Please burn down the great town of lankA).
- namadhu idar kedavE – The sorrow of us who are as said in thiruvAimozhi 5.1.9 “AvAr Ar thuNai” (who will be my companion?).
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
