Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- eLidhAyina ARu – iraNdAm thiruvandhAdhi 22 “ariyadheLidhAgum …” (If emperumAn decides to grant us mOksham which is difficult to attain, we will easily attain it) – even the most difficult result will be easily attainable. Where did we see it? “kariyadhu …” ([By emperumAn’s grace] Did gajEndhrAzhwAn not come out victorious over the crocodile and serve emperumAn with the lotus flower?) – Did the elephant not get emperumAn to arrive at the shore of the pond without any proper decoration?
- eLidhAyina ARu enRu … – Saying “That which is difficult to attain has become easily attainable!”, my eyes which were thirsty as said in thiruvAimozhi 9.4.1 “kANak karudhum en kaNNE” (my eyes long to see him), became joyful.
- kaLidhu Agiya sindhaiyan Ay – Having a delighted mind. My heart which is said as in thiruvaimozhi 3.8.1 “nediyAnEe! enRu kidakkum en nenjamE” (My heart will remain still meditating upon his qualities), got to become joyful.
- kaLikkinREn – I, who said in thiruvAimozhi 3.8.7 “kUviyum kANap peREn” (even after calling out many times, I have not seen and enjoyed you), am now enjoying. AzhwAr who was greatly craving for emperumAn, along with his [AzhwAr’s] senses, has now got to enjoy emperumAn with his [AzhwAr’s] senses.
- kiLi thAviya … – emperumAn of thiruppEr which is surrounded by eternally blossoming gardens.
- theLidhu … – There is a high sky (higher world) reaching where, one will never leave that abode and which will bring clarity in mind unlike this material world which is said as in thiruvAimozhi 10.6.1 “iruL tharu mA gyAlam” (the vast world which gives us ignorance) – that is, emperumAn is determined to grant to me paramapadham, which is beyond the abodes of brahmA et al.
