Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)

SrI vAmana, the great benefactor, mercifully grew to consume all the vast worlds under his divine feet; such emperumAn is seated and residing in thiruvARanviLai which is having  mansions with flags which are shining in the vast sky and tall forts; will it be possible to sprinkle water with distinguished fragrance, circumambulate and perform anjali there? Will it occur without a doubt? It appears that, AzhwAr is subsequently highlighting that it is indeed possible. “Without a doubt” can be associated with emperumAn measuring the world too.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

  • Agum kol aiyam onRu inRi – Instead of being assertive, this more appears to be highlighting AzhwAr‘s longing. Will it be possible for us without a doubt? Alternatively – emperumAn measured the worlds with two steps, without any doubt. Due to his childishness, though he is capable to do everything, he initially thought “will this be possible for us or not?”.
  • agalidam muRRavum – Grew to have the vast earth and heavenly worlds in two steps. He measured earth, heaven etc with two steps, thinking that he would capture mahAbali with the other step [as he requested three steps of land].
  • thirukkuraLappan – SrI vAmana, the great benefactor.
  • amarndhuRaiyum – Unlike in SrI vAmanAvathAram, where he returned to thiruppARkadal and reclined there immediately after helping indhra, here he is residing permanently.
  • mAgam thigazh … – thiruvARanviLai which has mansions having flags which shine in the vast sky, measured by his divine feet, and having tall forts.
  • mAgandha nIr … – SrI SathrugnAzhwAn poured fragrant, cool water from SrI nandhigrAmam to SrI bharathwAja bhagavAn’s ASramam [to welcome SrI rAma] as said in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 130.6 “sinchanthu vasUdhAm kruthsnAm himaSIthEnavAriNA” (Let the earth be drenched with cool water); similarly will I also be able to sprinkle greatly fragrant water and engage in favourable activities there?
