How can I tell this to anyone?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- Arukku en sollugEn … – Shall I tell this to you who have my heart and who consider the harmful entities as enjoyable and are seeking them?
As the mothers hear this, they will naturally say “What! As the heart belongs to the individual, should one not search for favourable entities for the self?” For such mothers “I am telling now”
- Ar uyir aLavanRik kUr thaN vAdai – The cool northerly breeze which is coming in abundance, is beyond the capacity of our AthmA. If the heart is with us, even if the harmful entities hurt us, we can tolerate that and survive; but the heart has left for a place of no return as said in thiruvAimozhi 7.3.4 “en nenjinArum angE ozhindhAr” (my heart reached him).
- kAr … – krishNa who has an invigorating form like a cloud; he is obedient towards us and he made us exist exclusively for him by manifesting his such form; his kaLvam (mischief) is his humble sweet talks and acts during the union; nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 2.4 “pEchchum seygaiyum” (his talks and acts); my distinguished heart which was stolen by such talks and acts, has become his now.
- sIr … – They don’t know that only the body is remaining here. The northerly breeze, on top of coming as the chief tormentor, is also bring along the other entities and all of them are falling atop me competing with each other as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 30.30 “EshaivASam sathE lankAm” (this neela [a vAnara chieftain] alone is capable of destroying lankA).
- sIr uRRa … – Having sIr means being abundantly beautiful. That is – while the fragrant smoke is tormenting, the smoke is not blocking the vision. Well made yAzh. Tune named panchamam.
- thaN pasum sAndhu – Cool sandalwood paste which remains fresh on the objects applied.
- aNaindhu – Carrying them along.
- pOr uRRa vAdai – The northerly breeze is so valorous that it makes other entities look like [useless] chaff. The northerly breeze which is set to fight the battle.
- thaN malligaip pU – Fetching the fresh fragrance of invigorating jasmine flower. The limitation is only in those who can smell it; there is no shortage in fragrance.
- eRiyumAlO – it [the northerly breeze] blew on her staying far away from her, so that it is not affected by her virahAgni (fire of separation); just as those who would heat the arrow and shoot from a distance.
