Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- uLLuL Avi – AtmA which bears/holds the heart which is an internal part; Such AthmA (parAnkuSa nAyaki) dried up like a leaf in separation from emperumAn. It is said in bhagavath gIthA 2.24 “achchEdhyOyam adhAhyOyam aklEdhya: aSOshya Eva cha” (AthmA cannot be cut, cannot be burnt, cannot be soaked in water, cannot be dried) – parAnkuSa nAyaki says that even such quality of AthmA is lost (since she (herself) has dried up in separation). Does it mean that her body dried first and then her soul dried later? No – since this is based on intrinsic love for emperumAn and separation from him, first AthmA became dry which reflected in her body later.
Like a thirsty person, swallows camphor block to quench the thirst (parAnkuSa nAyaki, speaks about emperumAn‘s qualities to subdue her suffering),
- ena vaLLalE kaNNanE ennum – She says “in such condition, you (krishNa) who will present yourself at my disposal (since krishNa presented himself to the cowherd boys and girls)”.
- pinnum veLLa nIrk kidandhAy ennum – Further, as said in SrI vishNu dharmam 40th adhyAyam “…thApArthO jalaSAyanam…” (those who are trapped in difficulties, will be relieved from miseries by meditating upon kshIrAbdhi nAthan – one who is resting in the ocean) – you have arrived and mercifully rested in kshIrAbdhi to help me. This posture makes her think that they are in bed together (out of great attachment).
- ena kaLvi – She is going through much distress by hiding what is happening in her heart!
- thAn patta – One who said in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 66.10 “na jIvEyam kshaNamapi” (I cannot even survive for a moment in separation from sIthA) is without any emotional change and she (parAnkuSa nAyaki) has become so emotionally affected!
- vanjanai – Big army (kaurava army) loses to small army (pANdava army) by mischief only. Just like he (krishNa) changed day into night, declared “I won’t touch any weapons” and used it (during mahAbhAratha battle), here he deceived parAnkuSa nAyaki.
