nampILLai
It was seen in the earlier postings swAmi
nam-piLLai's commentary was dense with explanations on adjectives, real life
examples, real life events, multiple interpretatilons.
swAmi used to give precise definitions for general
terms :
i. in the context of the pAsuram and
ii. in srevaishnavic context.
In the absence of this, the term is likely to be
interpreted in a manner by one and all to ones whims and fancies.
A pAsuram in fourth ten will highlight this
aspect.
"vEdham vallArgaLaik koNdu vinnOar perumAn
thiruppAdham paNindhu" thiru voi mozhi 4-6-9;
The meaning of the line mentioned is ' The Lord be
worshipped through those who are proficient in vEdhAs'.
Now a question can be raised? What is proficiency?
Does it point to those who are great in recitaion of all the vEdhAs?Or does it
indicate who are good at memorising those important vEdhic portions? Or does it
indeed signify those who have comprehended the true import of the vEdic
menaings? Or does it
swAmi nam-piLLai does not take a roundabout in this
regard. The definiton is very simple:
'sarvEswaran prApyamum, prApakamum '
enRa vEdha thAthparyam kaikkoNdavargaLaik koNdu'. Those who have
comprehended that the Lord is the means and end to attain Him. This has been
clearly underlined here as the vEdha thAthparyam, by swAmi
nam-piLLai.
