Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
oruvanai … – brahmA who remains so unique that after counting him, there is none to count subsequently, and is the controller of 14 layered universe; creating such brahmA in his divine lotus navel, and with the sweat from his divine chest, eliminating the curse acquired by rudhra.
umbar AL enRu vittAn – He sent off rudhra telling him to conduct the world without losing any of the greatness of being the leader of celestial entities. He sent him off saying “Rule over the higher worlds”.
peru varai … – Being surrounded by the forts which are said to be like huge mountains. One who is mercifully reclining like a black mountain on thiruvananthAzhwAn in the great town which can be said as in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 51 “kalangAp perunagaram” (paramapadham, the great town, which has no bewilderment).
thenpEr karudhi – I who desired “Let me go there and be uplifted” and became uplifted! How amazing!
[Alternative recital]
than pEr karudhi – How amazing is it that I recited the divine name matching his beautiful form and became uplifted!
