Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
Odhilum … – To start with, she will not speak; but if she does,
un pEr anRi maRRu OdhAL – She is not saying “aiyar, Achchi” (Father, mother),
urugum nin thiru uru ninaindhu – As she thinks about emperumAn through his name, she will melt like ice.
kAdhanmai peridhu – Her desire is greater than his physical beauty.
kaiyaRavu udaiyaL – Her loss is greater than her desire.
When asked “What is the limit of her loss?”
kayal … – Eye which resembles a kayal (carp) fish, youthful and vast. Just as huge towns become empty, the sleep has exited fully from the vast eye.
pEdhaiyEn pEdhai – My foolish daughter. I who am having foolishness to pray to get a daughter like her. As said in thiruviruththam 37 “nedungAlamum kaNNan nINmalarp pAdham” (Praying for a long time to get krishNa’s long flower like divine feet).
piLLaimai peridhu – Her childishness is greater than her youthfulness. In worldly matters, she is not knowledgeable as those who are at her age.
theLLiyaL – But in your matters she is greater than those who have heard vEdhAntham.
vaLLi nuN marungul – Her physical beauty is such that one cannot abandon her due to her childish nature. Her childishness and wisdom are of no use; her beauty is sufficient for you to not abandon her.
Edhalar munnA – In front of the enemies who scold her saying “You desired for him; now you have nicely attained him!”.
en ninaindhirundhAy – What are you, who thinks “I should not let her suffer in front of the enemies”, thinking in her matter? sthOthra rathnam 25 “nathE’nurUpa:” (It is not apt for you). It is alright for SrIvaikuNtanAthan to abandon her. But you, who are in thiruvidavendhai (who have arrived for this purpose), cannot do it.
