Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

peNmai … – pUthanA who came in the guise of yaSOdhAp pirAtti who is best among women, regained her huge demoniac form and got killed; krishNa turned her into a dead body. The marudha which became very strong due to being possessed by demon; the wheel which had the ability to complete the undertaken task. The abode where sarvESvaran, who mercifully vanquished all of them and became radiant thinking “Got the enemies eliminated”, eagerly resides.

uNmai … – Having abundance of brAhmaNas who have noble qualities due to being familiar with vEdhams which speak the truth as it is and their ancillary subjects which are good, and who have humility, tolerance, generosity to give whatever is requested by suffering persons. vaNmai – Athma samarpaNam.
