Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
villAr … – bhagavAn, who is served in paramapadham by nithyasUris who care for him very much, unnecessarily doubting his safety, has arrived in this samsAram and is present here; since this is samsAram, doubt for his safety will be natural and necessary; hence, the divine hunters of thirumalA will be alert with their bows and cautiously care for bhagavAn, just as SrI guhapperumAL remained awake and cared for SrI rAma.
mal Ar … – In this manner, they are cautiously protecting the den of a lion. sarvESvaran who is having very strong shoulders and a beautiful form.
kal Ar … – thirumangai AzhwAr’s strong shoulders assure safety of both bhagavAn in thirumalA and those divine hunters who are caring for bhagavAn.
vallAr … – Those who are able to learn these pAsurams, will attain the kainkaryam which is done by nithyasUris to bhagavAn, as their routine.
