nanmaiyAl mikka nAnmaRaiyALargaL punmaiyAgak karudhuvar Adhalin annaiyAy aththanAy ennai ANdidum thanmaiyAn sadagOpan en nambiyE
Meaning:
nAnmaRaiyALargaL - The vaidhikas who are well versed in the four Vedas nanmaiyAl mikka - and are full of high qualities, ennai karudhuvar - will consider me as punmaiyAgak - one who is lowly qualities personified. Adhalin - For that very reason, sadagOpan - Nammazhvar thanmaiyAn - has the nature of becoming annai Ay - my mother, aththan Ay - my father ANdidum - and save me en nambi - and as such he is my lord.
Vyakhyana Saram:
Madhurakavi Azhvar explains how he got such a great gain
through the help he got from Nammazhvar. Why would Nammazhvar
give him such a help? He says that he was low, so low that
all good things abandoned him, and therefore he became
attached to Nammazhvar and Nammazhvar helped him.
nanmaiyAl mikka nAnmaRaiyALargaL:
Those great and pure people who live by the four Vedas, who
are home to divine qualities, who recite, follow and have no
other wealth other than the Vedas.
punmaiyAgak karudhuvar:
Such Vedic people will not just consider him as one who has
low qualities, but actually think of him as low qualities
personified. He says that his stature is so low that all
great people except Nammazhvar would tend to abandon him.
nAnmaRaiyALargaL punmaiyAgak karudhuvar:
The brahmins who recite nothing but the Vedas and who are
submerged in the smell of the Vedas will not consider that
he has low qualities but that all low qualities have gained
a physical form as him.
annaiyAy aththanAy ennai ANdidum:
To such a person as him, Nammazhvar became all relations
such that he has no relatives except Nammazhvar. Other
than Nammazhvar, he has no other refuge. That which a
mother, a father and a lord would do was all done for him
by Nammazhvar. That was the relationship between Sriman
Narayana and Nammazhvar and now he has attained that same
relationship with Nammazhvar.
thanmaiyAn:
Nammazhvar has this lofty characteristic naturally.
nambiyE:
Nammazhvar is a pUrna (nambi) because not only did he drive
away his own errors but he also removed Madhurakavi
Ahzvar's errors. Nammazhvar just did not do something
that another person might have done; he has done that which
everyone else does together; therefore, he is complete.
Madhurakavi Azhvar says that Nammazhvar's completeness is
such that it lifts even those who are nothing but a
personification of low qualities.
