Our speech, mind and body have reached him; the body and the life are being tormented in between. kOzhi – peahen; kiLaiththal – making sound.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kUkkural kEttum – Even after hearing the way you make your sound. She is thinking that there is not a single place where this sound cannot reach.
- nam kaNNan – His obedience is as popular as vatayaksha prasidhdhi [a ghost is present in this banyan tree – imaginary].
- mAyan – amazing personality; pretending to be truthful during union.
- veLippadAn – He is not arriving, thinking that “she won’t survive [in my absence]”; he is said as in SrI bhAgavatham 10.32.2 “… thAsAmAvirabUth …” (He appeared amidst the cowherd girls like the cupid for cupids)! rishi (sage) said “AvirabhUth” (appeared) and she is saying “veLippadAn” (not appearing).
- mEl kiLai koLLEnmin – High pitch. Don’t make high pitched sound which matches your species and your romantic situation. As she was being engaged, it increased its pitch.
- nIrum sEvalum – When the peahen started, the peacock continued it and completed it.
- kOzhigAL – Should you come as a clan to defeat a woman? kOzhi – mayil – peahen.
parAnguSa nAyaki considers the birds to be saying “Are we going to be bothered about your statement ‘do not torment me’? Would we stop without taking away all of your faculties? We need to complete the task we have taken up” and says “for that, you have to go there”.
- vAkkum manamum karumamum namakku AngadhE – All my faculties (mind, speech and body) are with him now, She is saying this thinking “these birds will go there and make sound, which will make it unsustainable for him, and he will arrive”.
When asked “if they are there, how can you speak and act in this manner?” She says
- Akkaiyum Aviyum andharam ninRu uzhalumE – Due to the previous sorrows, my body and life are suffering in between [neither here, nor there]. Like a horn which was held and released, we only have the impressions. There is something which is needed here to be tormented [by you], but the faculties which can be tormented are not here.
