Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
annam … – Being hamsa which can bring back the vEdham which was lost, mercifully giving SrI varAha purANam (as varAha bhagavAn) and SrI mathsya purANam (as mathsya bhagavAn), jagath kAraNa bhUtha who showed the means to attain him, emperumAn is mercifully standing in thirunAgai showing his beauty so that we cannot leave him.
kanni … – AzhwAr is being the leader of thirumangai region, which is having fort which is a protective layer, beautiful and vast; he is having SrIvaishNavaSrI which is desired by all; without any shortcoming, he mercifully composed with tune.
senjol mAlai Ezhum iraNdum Or onRum – Since he cannot comprehend the greatness of this decad fully, he is identifying the decad in 3 groups. Those who can recite this decad, will get their desires fulfilled here and will also attain the real goal of this decad/prabandham which is to remain joyfully with nithyasUris.
