Having become like-minded with emperumAn who is in paramapadham which is the apt destination for us, we are also setting out to leave; oh groups of attractive cranes in water-bodies! What is the benefit of analysing me, while gathering together? My body which is attractive like an ornament [for emperumAn], is trying to leave in proper sequence. Let all places, attaining vast, good joy, become enriched.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ezha naNNi – Setting out to leave.
- nAmum nam vAna nAdanOdu onRinOm – Just like containing an ocean in a small space, he presented himself, flattened me and left. We too thought “We have become one in heart with the leader of nithyasUris. As he planned along with nithyasUris to finish us off, we accepted. Instead of his deciding to finish us and we deciding to live, as he tries to twist the arm in clockwise direction and we twist in anti-clockwise, we too decided perish. Since nithyasUris are eternally related to him, they too have the same thoughts as he.
- pazhana nal nAraik kuzhAngaLgAL – Oh groups of cranes who live in water-bodies and have the ability to complete the tasks which you take up!
- payinRu en ini – What is the use of your gathering now? Wouldn’t your manthram be of value only when I differ from his thoughts? She is thinking that just as the mudhaligaL (vAnara elders) gathered together and analysed the means to unite perumAL (Sri rAma) and pirAtti (sIthA), these cranes are gathering together and analysing the means to separate her from emperumAn. Due to her impressions from rAmAvathAram, she is thinking “the task of thiryak (animals/birds) is to unite with him those who are desired by him and to separate from him those who are rejected by him”. Due to mentioning “vAna nAdan – nAraik kuzhAngaLgAL” (paramapadhanAthan (spiritual realm) and cranes (material realm), she is wondering “Are both realms required to finish off a helpless girl?”
- izhai nalla Akkaiyum – Implies a) body which looks beautiful due to being decorated with ornaments, or b) distinguished body which appears like a body decorated with ornaments.
- paiyavE puyakkaRRadhu – Saying a) lost its strength progressively or b) started leaving in proper sequence. puyaththal – leaving, puyakka – attractive.
- thazhai nalla … – She says “ISvara’s wealth should become abundant”. ALavandhAr explains this as – She is saying like those who try to kill themselves will say ‘long live this world’. emperumAnAr explains this as – She is saying “The world should not go through my suffering”. bhattar explains this as – She is saying “While I am getting finished, the world will survive without suffering for my sorrow”.
