Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
sindhai thannuL nIngAdhu irundha thiruvE – Only if I have put in any effort for your continuous, shining presence in my heart, could I put in efforts for carrying out kainkaryam to you. He is always shining in my heart continuously.
thiruvE – AzhwAr’s wealth is emperumAn only. He is known as in periya thirumozhi 7.7.1 “thiruvukkum thiru”.
maruviniya – His presence is very sweet for AzhwAr. As one engages in him, instead of having to take breaks, he is greatly enjoyable.
maindhA … – Oh you who are having eternal youthfulness! Oh you who revealed your love by eternally residing in the beautiful, cool thiruvAli.
sOlai … – All his acts are enjoyable like those of a young elephant calf which grew in a garden.
nandhA viLAkku … – While continuously burning in a lamp, there is no smoke and dirt, you who are having true nature which is in the form of radiance!
naRaiyUr … – Oh you who came and resided in thirunaRaiyUr and are complete to not have to think “There is something missing in the one who is our refuge”!
en endhAy indhaLUrAy – Oh you who arrived in thiruvindhaLUr and created the knowledge about our relationship in me!
adiyERku … – Is it too difficult for you, who gave knowledge about our relationship, to also accept kainkaryam which matches my true nature?
