Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ilangai seRRavanE ennum – two explanations:
- parAnkuSa nAyaki said “Oh one who helped me before!” (She is saying this to her mother to emphasise that helping others is natural quality for him). She is calling out to him as if he helped her before and not helping now.
- parAnkuSa nAyaki said “Do you have to build a bridge, lift a mountain (to bring herbs to bring back lakshmaNa’s consciousness) or draw an arrow (to fight) on the bow? What hurdle is there to come to me?” Whatever her mother said to get her to leave emperumAn, she is using the same for holding on to him further.
- pinnum … – Further, she said “you are having the entourage (garuda) to help like someone having a water jug at a higher level to feed water for thirsty persons”. This indicates – having the able garuda in his flag or having garuda as his vehicle. Even though garuda is present (who can bring him to her), since he is not coming, as if her heart is taken away from her, she is heaving very hot air as said in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 17.29 “dhahanthImiva ni:SvAsairvrukshAth pallava dhAriNa: … ” (hanuman saw sIthA pirAtti who looked like burning down the trees, which are having fresh leaves and are in neck deep water, with her hot breath …).
- kaNNIr miga – Whatever started as heavy breathing, turned into tears.
- kalangith thozhum – beloved (while in separation) would usually not be praying with pristine knowledge (she will be bewildered).
- ivaLE – she, who is so great to be prayed by him, is now herself praying for him.
