In the previous posting we had a glimpse of nam-piLLai's greatness regarding explaining adjectives used by AzhwAr.
swAmi nam-piLLai's commentary is replete with real-life examples which enables one to comprehend intricate meanings instantly and easily.
 
This is seen from a pAsuram in the fourth ten. in"thErpArai yAm ini" 4-6 of thiru voi mozhi.
 
Here, AzhwAr in a extreme emotional distress from pangs of separation from the Lord, talks as parAnkusa nAyaki,becomes sick. The friends and mother of AzhwAr -thAi and thOzhi- try to find out and the reason for this and apply several ineffective methods.  Then a solution is prescribed:
"yEzhmai piRappukkum shEmam, in nOikkum EdhEa marundhu" 4-6-9
 
The prescription is - Think of the Lord krishNA's divine feet. Your welfare is guaranteed for seven births.
The response is " we are worried about parAnkusa nAyaki's illness. YOu are talking about welfare for 7births"
The reply is " ob! this is remedy for that also- in nOIkkum EdhEa marundhu"
 
swAmi nam-piLLai explains this with a real life example. "ivaL noikkun parihAram anRoa? athaich sollAdhEa  maRRondRai sollugiRadhen?  enna-Agil sambaRuthArkaikkup pOga vENumA?
When farmers harvest the paddy, they make into several bundles. They need not go in search of a separate piece of thread or rope to fasten each bundles. They take a thread from the harvested produce and fasten them. Thus the produce itself acts as a fastener also. Similarly, the divine feet which is good for 7 births is also efficacious for this sicknesss.
 
This will thus highlight the greatness of swAmi nam-piLLai in explaining pAsuram-s with incisivie precision through real life examples.
