In the ninth pAsuram, emperumAn mercifully says “When brahmA et al, dhaksha et al are all present, why are you fearing” AzhwAr says “They don’t know about your saukumAryam (tenderness) etc; due to my affection towards you, I have become bewildered and am crying out”.

I am bewildered by the love towards you. Oh benefactor as per the occasion! Oh one with a distinguished dark form who engaged me in service!” How can I explain your tenderness!

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- thirumAl – AzhwAr is calling out with determination [that SrIman nArAyaNan is the supreme] saying “thirumAl”. Would they perform mangaLASAsanam [wishing well] for your togetherness with pirAtti?
- nAnmugan – One who has multiple faces to engage in creation, and is fully focussed on creation.
- sem sadaiyAn – rudhra who has the form of one who is pursuing some means; he too is focussed on getting what he desires.
- emperumAn thanmaiyai – Tenderness of you who is sarvESvara.
- Ar aRigiRpAr – Can it be known by some people? Will those who are focussed on other aspects know your tenderness? Can your tenderness be known by those who are focussed on other aspects?
- pEsi en – What is the use of speaking about this? Can we make them care for you? [No] Can we make your tenderness to be limited? [No] When asked “If they are focussed elsewhere and do not know about me, why don’t you speak about me?” AzhwAr says “Am I able to do it now?” [No]
- oru mA mudhalvA – Oh distinguished supreme cause!
- Uzhip pirAn – Oh one who is the lord of all entities including time!
- ennai … – Oh one who is having the form which made me exclusively exist for you, while I was focussed on other aspects previously!
- enban – I too can only say this. You being the controller of all and accepting me by manifesting your physical beauty, have bewildered me.
- en kAdhal kalakkavE – My love makes me worry and fear for you, and I spoke out of such bewilderment caused by your beauty and greatness; I did not speak, having seen the ultimate level of your tenderness. I have spoken being blinded by love and not with heart’s intent. Neither the care of prayajOnAntharaparas (those who seek other benefits) such as brahmA et al, is a match for you nor the care of me who is blinded by love.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
