Dear SrEvaishNavites,
Descritpitons for certain terms in the pAsuram-s are provided by AchAryAs which are referred to in the vyAkyAnam-s. These not only provide insight into the meaning of the term but also add flavour to the commentary.
 
The term is given in olive colour while the pAsuram is in blue and the vyAkyAnam -whether mUvAyiram or ARayiram etc. is given in red for easy reference.
 
THE FLYING LITTLE LION
 
From the First pAsuram: mUvAyiRappaDi
Sri krshNA is described as:
yasOdhai iLam singam: What is iLam singam ? Sri bhattar -- singak-kurugu.
 
What is singak kurugu? Singam is a wild animal while kurugu is a bird.
 
The little lion which flies and jump, is the intended meaning. Dont be misled that He is a little one, He has the power of the lion and the capability of the bird to fly.
 
 
'DONT HAVE ANY QUALMS WHATSOEVER'
 
From the First pAsuram--nAlAyirappaDi.
 
sEr malgum AippADi:
 
One day sri bhattar was giving discourse on thiruppAvai when a srEvaishNavite who was not having yagnOpavEtham -pUNal sAthAdha srEvaishNavar came.  On seeing this srE bhaTTar mentioned, "Do not hesitate. Enter without any qualms. This is thiru-AippADi"
