Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
umbar … – The seven upper worlds, seven oceans and seven mountains were mercifully consumed to his stomach’s content without missing anyone of those; he then spat those out thinking “They cannot struggle, remaining inside”. He has a divine form manifesting that these acts are done for his own sake. thagai – greatness.
vambu … – Orchard having blossoming flowers; dragon-flies are roaming around like a golden cover for the orchard. maNi – beauty. Since the crops are always dark (being ready for harvest), the farm-field is dark; being surrounded by such field.
namban uRaiginRa nagar – The eternal abode of sarvESvaran who is trustworthy in any situation.
