Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- amararAyth thiriginRArgatku – Just as mAmbazha uNNi (an insect, whose name means mango-eater) has no relation to mango, these amaras (dhEvas) who are in this material world, who live a little bit longer than humans and eventually die, and who are still called as amara (immortal) even though there is an end to their life, are pridefully roaming around as if they are immortal.
- thiriginRAr – Though the bondage is heavy, they roam around without any worry. Their situation is not as simple as the AthmA in a human body. For a human being, all that he needs to give up is his own body and a woman (his wife); but for brahmA, he needs to give up the whole universe which is under his control.
- Adhi sEr ananthapuraththu – For dhEvas and nithyasUris, the only commonality towards bhagavAn is bhagavAn being the cause for all. For nithyasUris, he ensures their existence; for the dhEvas, he unites the body and soul, and conducts them by recreating the body every moment that it decays. thiruvananthapuram where the cause of the universe is eternally residing.
- amarar kOn … – SrI sEnApathi AzhwAn (vishvaksEna) is performing eternal kainkaryam; nithyasUris will assist him.
- namargaLO sollak kENmin – Oh all of those who are eternally related to me as said in thiruvAimozhi 3.3.1 “vazhuvilA adimai seyya vENdunAm” (We should serve continuously)! Listen to my words. One should share kind words with relatives.
- nAmum – We are desirous to serve and should join the nithyasUris to be in their group to go and serve.
- pOy naNuga vENdum – It is not enough that we just dream of it from here, but we should reach there.
When asked “Would it be possible for us, who are samsAris, to be in their group?” AzhwAr says,
- kumaranAr … – He is the saviour for us when we are in a dangerous situation of being attacked by dhEvas and asuras together; thus, should it be difficult for us to reach that abode? Will he, who removes the sorrows of the prideful persons, make it difficult for us who are without any pride, to reach him? He remains the eliminator of sorrows for rudhra et al; he remains subservient to cows and cowherds. We should reach such gOvindha.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
