Continuing on the topic of "same words-different cannotations'

 

the words "ANDAi vunnai-k-kANBadhOAr aruL enakku aruLudhiyEAl,

vEANDEAn manai-vAzhkkaiyai viNNagar mEayavanEa"

 

 

Sixth pAsuram: This pasuram highlights the Lord's supremacy and His omni-presence.

ANDAi..: "Oh! Lord, more than realising Your supremacy from the

pramAnangaL, grace me to have the divine vision of this property, I

truyly declare that I am indifferent towards this samsAram.

 

Eighth pAsuram; ANDAi ...: Oh! Lord, YOu are the one who gave interest

in the Godly matters and made me disinterested in other matters.

Hence, plese also shower Your Grace on me to have your vision. I

declare that I do not have any interest in samsAram.

 

Ninth pAsuram: ANDAi..Oh ! Lord do not give me the privilege of

immersing in this worldy pleasures. I do not have any interest in

this.

 

 

A great commentator, does not just go on reeling out the word

by word meanings. He tries to fathom the mind of the author. The

macro meaning is given in the introduction. The coherence is also

tried to be maintained between the previous one and this one. The

micro-meanings are chalked out from the context of each pAsuram-s

keeping in tandem the macro idea of the whole experience,.

 

This is what Sri periya-vAchAn piLLai has done. Having said that Sri

thirumangai-mannan conveys his interest towards the Lord and

disinterest in this world, the vyAkyAna-kartha goes on to read the

mind of the AzhwAr in each and every pAsuram and gives meaning

different according to context of each pAsuram-s. That is why he is

known as
