Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- vELviyuL maduththalum – As the vaidhikas offered the results of their yAgams, others engaged in burning fragrant incenses made of eagle-wood trees etc.
- virai kamazh naRum pugai – Very desirable incense due to being very fragrant.
- kALangaL … – As these SrIvaishNavas were accepting what was offered by the vaidhikas and others, some others [celestial persons] started playing wind instruments and right-curled conches.
- kalandhu engum isaiththanar – They reverberated everywhere (While there is sound, there must be those who are making the sound).
- AzhiyAn thamar – ANmingaL vAnagam – They are praising the SrIvaishNavas saying “You who are servitors of sarvESvaran, should rule over this place”. Even emperumAn has his wealth for his devotees as said in jithanthE sthOthram “bhakthAnAm” (everything is for your devotees). They would ask “What stops you from ruling us?”
- vAL oN kaN … – The consorts of those dhEvathAs who perform the duty of AdhivAhika (guiding in the path leading to paramapadham), blessed the SrIvaishNavas. Just as mothers would give their cool glance towards their children who are going away to far away lands, these dhEvasthrIs glanced at the SrIvaishNavas with their radiant, beautiful eyes.
- magizhndhE – They are not doing it as something ordained, just because their husbands are honouring them. They are doing it with affection. His (SrIvaishNava’s) great fortune is in being honoured by those who are greater (due to being in higher worlds), after shedding the body, while the same SrIvaishNava was insulted by much lower persons due to his relationship with bhagavAn during his times in material realm!
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
