1.This thiru voi mozhip nURRandhAdhip pAsuram is
representative of the vAnamAmalaip padhigam "nORRa nOnbu ilEan" thiru voi
mozhi 5-7. Both start with the terms 'nOnbu"
2. In the thiru voi mozhip padhigam this is the
first dhivya dhEsam where AzhwAr surrenders unto the Lord folowed by
thirukkudandhai. AzhwAr expresses the fact that He does not possess the rewards
of penance nor the strenght of knowledge-nORRa nOnbu ilEan, nun aRivu
ilEan. The way of reaching the Lord is His divine feet. This is expressed
by AzhwAr in the tenth pAsuram - "ARu enakku, nin pAdhamEa charaN
Agath thandu vozhindhAi"- Your divine feet is the means of
reaching you, which you have given to me. The primary focus here is on the Lord
Himself being the means and the end.
In this thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhip pAsuram the
second line -
' pERRukkupAyam vundhan
pERaruLE' refers to the fact that His grace is the means of
attaining Him.
3. The thiru voi mozhi 5-7-11th pAsuram ends with the word " vudan vaigal
pAda vallAr vAnOrku ArA amudhu"
which is the final word of this pAsuram also and also the beginning of the
next pAsuram and thiru voi mozhi 5-8- "ArA amudhEa" padhigam.
4. ezhil mARan sol vallAr- is the reverence to AzhwAr's words.
