Word-by-Word meanings (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)

Ezh vidai – seven bulls (which were hurdles which stop from achieving the goal of marrying nappinnai)
koNdAn – one who took their vital air, i.e., killed them
Ezh vaiyam – all the worlds
uNdAn – one who protected them by keeping them in his stomach
thaN – that which eliminates the heat of samsAram (material realm)
thAmam – attachment towards paramapadham

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

emperumAn killed the seven bulls (which were stopping him from marrying nappinnai) and protected all the worlds by consuming them. Such emperumAn showed towards me the desire that he shows towards paramapadham, which is also what I desire for.

Just like I like to enjoy him in paramapadham, he liked to enjoy me the same way in this samsAram itself. It is also explained that emperumAn accomplished what AzhwAr desired for.

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

  • koNdAn Ezh vidai – krishNa killed the seven bulls which were stopping him from being united with nappinnaip pirAtti (sathyA, the daughter of kumba who is the brother of yasOdhA).
  • uNdAn Ezh vaiyam – Just as he could not bear the worlds tormenting during deluge and so consumed them to protect them, he united with me as if he could not bear the separation from me .

Further more,

  • thaN thAmam seydhu – paramapadham is a place which has a pleasing coolness. Whatever attachment he has towards paramapadham, he manifested the same towards me. Also explained as, AzhwAr saying “though I am in this samsAram (material realm), he treated me as a resident of paramapadham”.
  • en eN thAn AnAnE – two explanations:
    • He fulfilled my goal as I desired.
    • He assumed my desires as his own. In other words, just like AzhwAr wants to enjoy emperumAn in paramapadham as he says in thiruvAimozhi 9.3.7 “mAga vaikundham kANbadhaRku en manam EkameNNum” (my heart constantly desires to see paramapadham), thiruviruththam 47 “kaNNan viNNUr thozhavE sariginRadhu sangam” (due to my longing to see emperumAn‘s paramapadham, I am becoming weak and my bangles are falling off as I become leaner), emperumAn too desires “Let us go to AzhwArthirunagari and enjoy AzhwAr there”.

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
