Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn is like a beautiful (delightful to our eyes), prideful bull that is focused on destroying the enemies, wearing a very radiant crown which is decorated by cool, beautifully woven thuLasi. He is firmly resting on the serpent bed in the milk ocean. He killed the seven bulls at once to marry nappinnaip pirAtti. He shot down the seven pipal trees which had honey and many branches which made them look like a garden by themselves.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- pAmbaNai – To protect his devotees, emperumAn is resting in the milk ocean. [As he is most tender] not wanting to be affected by the fluids in the ocean, he is resting on thiruvanthAzhwAn (Adhi SEshan) who has coolness, nice fragrance and is most tender.
- kAmbu … – Beautiful shoulder of nappinnaip pirAtti resembles bamboo for the circumference and smoothness. To marry such nappinnaip pirAtti, krishNa killed the bulls (which were the hurdles for marrying her) together, at once.
- thEn paNaiya (thEmbaNaiya) – sugrIva mahAraja said “You cannot kill vAli” and to instill confidence in him, he shot down the seven pipal trees which had honey, lots of large branches and grown like a bush which make them difficult to take aim.
- pU … – Having nicely woven flowers; being decorated with nicely decorated thuLasi garland, wearing beautiful divine crown which signifies his supremacy, and after bestowing such wonderful experience to nithyasUris and feeling prideful due to that, he is looking like a bull which is ready for a fight. It is also like AzhwAr saying “all of these are done by emperumAn for me (to enjoy)”.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
