Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
As the cruel sins no longer fit in the heart, even if I get to reach the supreme sky which has clarity, my heart which is in harmony with the mind, speech and matching acts is thinking to reach the abode of thiruvARanviLai which is reached and worshipped by residents of all places and which is having garden, and to worship with joined palms by engaging in favourable acts; will it occur?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- thIvinai … – when asked “You are talking about thiruvARanviLai as the goal due to the shrunk knowledge while being here; when the knowledge expands, you will change paramapadham to be your goal”, AzhwAr says “it is not like that; would you like to hear how I would be when my knowledge expands?”
- thI vinai uLLaththin sArvallavAgi – The previously carried out avidhyA (ignorance), karma (acts), vAsanA (impressions) and ruchi (tastes) were in touch with the AthmA.
- theLi visumbu ERal uRRAl – While setting out to reach thirunAdu (paramapadham).
- nAvin uLLum … – thiruvARanviLai which is eternally, perfectly enjoyable, to be desired by those most wise souls who are present in paramapadham and reach out here with their mind, speech and body.
- mEvi … – I should go and reach that abode of thiruvARanviLai and engage in favourable acts.
- kai thozhak kUdum kol ennum en sindhanaiyE – My heart is not obedient to me, as said in SrI rAmAyaNam uththara kANdam 40.16 “bhAvO nAnyathra gachchathi” (hanuman says – my mind will not focus on anyone else).
