Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
mikkAnai – Greater than all.
maRaiyAy virindha viLakkai – Being self-illuminous and not needing any other tool to see him. When trying to be known through pramANams (authentic scriptures), he is having the endless greatness of shining through those.
en uL pukkAnai – One who voluntarily entered my heart; having great fame since everyone says, in the same way “While the samsAri chEthana (bound soul) has no desire to invite bhagavAn into him, bhagavAn himself enters there. What an amazing quality is this!” and because of that he is radiant; he is the most righteous lord; on the thirukkadigai mountain, he is remaining perfectly sweet like sugar and a fruit.
