Oh mothers! I don’t know the means to show you saying “(you) see” [my suffering]; Is it the whitish moon which is fitting with the day? Is it not a form of poison for those who desired? The attractive, divine forehead of krishNa who is having greatness of having four types of branched out, tall shoulders, assuming pride, being determined to have the life of me who is pathetic, is tormenting my soul.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kANmingaL … – The mothers said “You are saying that his forehead is tormenting you; we are not seeing it; can you explain us in a manner which will make us understand that”,
- kANmingaL … – I don’t know the means through which I can say “You too see this”. Only if I can catch hold of him or if you also experience the uruveLippAdu (visualisation), can I show it to you?
- annaiyargAL – Only if I can show it to men, I can show it to you who have become older.
- nAL mannu veN thingaL kol – Is this pUrvAshtamI chandhra (moon, which is just reaching the eight day)? To be very young, to grow further and to be attractive.
- nayandhArgatku nachchu ilaikol – Is this like poisonous herb for those desired for it? Alternative meaning – [nachchu illai is explained as not to be desired] Is this not to be desired by those who desired for it? AzhwAr who previously said thiruvAimozhi 3.4.5 “nachchu mA marundham” (the medicine which is desired), Instead of having to know that it is in a particular mountain and having to go and fetch from there with great effort [like hanuman had to bring the sanjIvini herb], it [emperumAn] is a remedy which will work by just smelling it, mA marundham – medicine which does not have any specific diet along with it. It is not a medicine which will blame the consumer having failed to work; it is the best medicine from paramapadham, which has now become like a poisonous herb for her.
- sEN … – The divine forehead of emperumAn who is having tall, well rounded shoulders like the branches of kalpa tharu (celestial tree) and who acquired me by those beautiful shoulders. She is also caught in the same aspect in which thiruvadi (hanuman) got caught as said in SrI rAmAyaNam kishkindhA kANdam 3.14 “AyathAScha suvruthAScha …“ (one who is having the shoulders which are long, well rounded and cannot be overcome by anyone).
- kodiyEn uyir kOL izhaiththu – kOL manni Avi adum – It desired to destroy the beauty of my life and finished my soul.
