Lord krshnA covered the sun with Sri
SudharsanAzhwAn. Agreed that the sun has been covered. What happens however is,
the greter brilliance and sparkle of sudharsanAzhwAn must have appeared up above
the sky -world so high? How did then, one and all felt that the darkness
has engulfed and perceived that dusk has set in, as a precursor to
the ensuing nocturnal period? In fact, it should have been brighter
and a pronounced daylight. This question is asked by the commentator and
answered thus.
" The sun's power is such that, it is
bright to the extent that it removes the darkness and at the same time visible
to the eyes. The brilliance and the brightness of sudharsanAzhwAn is several
times more than that of the sun to the extent that the brightness cannot be
endured by the open eyes. The appearance of sudharsanAzhwAn thus made all the
eyes close, resulting in darkness"

One of the greatness of the commentator is
to bring forth the logic over and above explaining the pAsuram and this is
another pAsuram which reiterates the vyAkyAnic prowess of periya
jEyar.
