Oh those who are related to me, who are complete in having physical beauty and noble qualities! What shall I do after losing my heart and having become helpless? Implies, only those who have heart can sustain.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

  • ennudai nannudhal nangaimIrgAL – You are free from sorrows since you are complete in physical beauty and femininity, though you are related to me.
  • yAn – I am suffering, having lost everything.
  • inich cheyvadhen – This being the case, what can I do! Can I redeem my belongings or control him?

When asked “Don’t you at least need to sustain yourself in all manner?” she says “Do I not need my heart for that?”

  • en nenju – My heart which is obedient in all situations.
  • ennai – me who sustains with its help.
  • nin idaiyEn allEn enRu nIngi – Leaving me saying that it is not fitting with me. As said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 17.1 “ithyukthvA parusham” (saying harsh words in this manner), it left. It left me saying “sanyastham mayA” (I have given you up completely) so that I cannot redeem it highlighting our apt relationship. Just as I am treating you now, my heart treated me in the same manner and left far away from me.
  • nEmiyum … – It reached the ocean [of bhagavAn’s divine feet] so that I cannot follow it. emperumAn is holding the AzhwArs (Sanka and chakra) in his hands which are on their own so attractive that one would ward off evil eyes from them. He is walking around with those Sanka and chakra AzhwArs, like a boundless mountain with sun which is having manifold radiance which permeates everywhere and moon which has milk like radiance, having cool physical form in blue colour which contrasts such bright radiance and having many untold beauty.
  • nAL malarp pAdham adaindhadhuvE – It reached like a beetle reaching a fresh flower – what can I do now?
