Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
pUN mulai – The bosoms which are decorated with pearl necklaces; or it can be said as “bosoms which are decoration for themselves”.
poru – On the eyes which cannot be glorified further, by anything else, she is not applying black pigment, even for auspiciousness.
pUvai … – Even before claiming ownership on her items such as pet parrot, she would care for them. Now she is not caring for them.
EN aRiyAL – She is not thinking about anything in worldly aspects.
emperumAn … – While asking about bhagavAn’s dhivyadhESam, she does not even need the help of mind.
nAL malarAL … – [Mother is saying angrily] He identifies himself as Sriya:pathi (divine consort of periya pirAttiyAr).
nAm aRiya – Should we drill an old well [it is well known from ancient scriptures that he is the husband of SrI mahAlakshmi]? Isn’t it well known that these divine consorts favourably engage with him?
nambi – Being subservient to the women, isn’t he thinking that he is complete due to that?
AN maganAy – When it comes to my daughter, he is manifesting his masculinity as said in nArAyaNa sUktham “pathim viSvasya” (He is the lord of the universe). How can one who is subservient, claim to be supreme!
en magaL … – Will his supremacy become dented if he shows subservience towards her?
