திகழ்கின்ற திருமார்பில் திருமங்கை தன்னோடும்
திகழ்கின்ற திருமாலார் சேர்விடம் தண் வாட்டாறு
புகழ்நின்ற புள் ஊர்தி போர் அரக்கர் குலம் கெடுத்தான்
இகழ்வு இன்றி என் நெஞ்சத்து எப்பொழுதும் பிரியானே

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

  • thigazhginRa … – Sriya:pathi, whose divine chest is naturally shining on its own, is shining further due to the togetherness with periya pirAttiyAr who is mercifully residing there. Even others are called “SrImAn” as an honour; it is unlike that here [it is perfectly true in emperumAn’s case]; since he is shining with SrI mahAlakshmi, he is known as Sriya:pathi. The rEpam (“Ar”) in the end of thirumAlAr has no specific meaning; it just indicates he is “thirumAl” (one who has SrI mahAlakshmi as his consort); as it is said in “puLLUrdhi” (one who rides garudAzhwAr).
  • sErvidam thaN vAttARu – Having this abode as his residence is as great as being Sriya:pathi.
  • pugazh … – periya thiruvadi, the vehicle, who has all fame in him. All the fame remains in him; having this fame is his greatness.
  • pOr … – He destroyed the whole clan of rAkshasas in righteous warfare.
  • igazhvu … – Instead of holding back considering me to be a samsAri (bound soul), and instead of remaining in my heart for a purpose and leaving it afterwards, he never ever leaves my heart. Just as one who is suffering from bile disease will never give up sandalwood paste, he never leaves me even for a moment.
