Nalayira Divya Prabandham Vyakyanam -
The term Vyakyanam refers to the systematic exposition and interpretation of the sacred verses. Without these commentaries, the nuanced meanings, double entendres, and philosophical underpinnings of the Alvars' experiences might remain inaccessible to the average seeker. The tradition of Vyakyanam for the Divya Prabandham is unique, primarily written in Manipravalam—a sophisticated linguistic blend of Tamil and Sanskrit. This style was intentionally chosen by the Acharyas to harmonize the Tamil emotional experience with the Sanskrit Vedic authority.
"Maraiyinaal muthatra varaiyin... Nalayiram" — The 4,000 are the end of the Vedas, and the Vyakyanam is the eye that sees that end. nalayira divya prabandham vyakyanam
