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.
