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

  • thagavu anRu enRu uraiyIrgaL – You tell him that he is not merciless to destroy his own existence. That is – he is being merciless. Since mercy is his identity and since she knows his secret, she is saying that he is merciless.
  • thadam punalvAy irai thErndhu – Searching for food in very flooded ponds. They are engaged in activities which only lead to union.
  • miga inbam pada mEvum – You are uniting to have overwhelming bliss. They are uniting so intimately to have both parties become lost.
  • men nadaiya annangAL – They were walking around in such a manner that we can observe their abundance of union in their steps.
  • miga mEni melivu eydhi – You have lost your intimate walks; you have seen my state; are you able to sustain yourself after seeing my state? My body’s weakness is in line with your abundant union.
  • mEgalaiyum Idazhindhu – Garment also loosened; when it hangs loosely, it needs support.
  • en aga mEni ozhiyAmE – Everything outside is gone; now, before the inner nature also goes; she is saying “before I die”.
  • thirumUzhikkaLaththArkku – One who is remaining here to protect those who cannot live without him.
  • thirumUzhikkaLaththArkku – thagavu anRu enRu uraiyIrgaL – Enough of pampering him and speaking with sugar-coated words; now, you inform him about his nature directly. When asked “If she did that previously”, when her venerable mother said as in thiruvAimozhi 2.4.5ena thavaLa vaNNar thagavugaL” (In what manner your qualities such as compassion etc exist?), she could not tolerate that and said as in thiruvAimozhi 2.4.6thagavudaiyavanE” (he is compassionate) and said “Oh! will he give up his mercy?”; she is speaking about that now.
