Highlights from nanjIyar‘s introduction
In the fourth pAsuram, parAnguSa nAyaki‘s friends say “While you are bold, you will lose everything” and as she could not have her desire to unite with him fulfilled, she says “What is there to lose? I have lost everything already”.

Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn who is having amazing activities is standing in the beautiful thirukkuLandhai in the beautiful western side having mansions and forts with flags; he is atop periya thruvadi who is having beautiful movements; in his right hand, he is having the divine chakra which has been victorious in battles; with the desire to unite with him, I lost my ancient nature in front of the girls with bangles as my beautiful bangles, heart left me without being subservient; what shall I give now? Azhi valavan is also said as Azhi vallavan (one who is an expert in using the chakra); nenjath thodakkam is also recited as nenjath thuLakkam indicating the loss of relationship with the heart.
