Simple translation
To agitate the vast ocean, bhagavAn, who is the lord of all, churned it and built a bridge; he launched the deadly arrow to kill the king of rAkshasas, rAvaNan, to have his mountain-like vast chest throbbing.; he is not coming. Alas! Along with the young moon which is having shining rays which are burning, the bell which is hung on the bull’s neck, is killing me. The sound of the flute, made by bamboos which grew from the mountain, which is from krishNa, the cowherd boy himself, is tormenting me. I am not aware of any effects.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
kalanga … – For the sake of pirAtti, emperumAn churned the ocean which cannot be comprehended by anyone, to have the bottom sand come up; he built a bridge on the ocean for her sake; the lord of all, who launched the deadly arrow to pierce the mountain like strong chest of rAvaNa, the king of lankA, has not come.
ilangu … – Along with the young moon which is shining with the rays which are burning, the sound of the bell on the bull’s neck, is killing me. These are sufficient enough to torment anyone. Further,
Ayan … – The flute which is having great origin and is in the cowherd boy’s hand, is killing me.
ini viLaivadhu onRu aRiyEnE – If I die, he will not be alive; if he is gone, the nithya vibhUthi and leelA vibhUthi which are taken care of by him, cannot exist; hence, I don’t know how this will end.
