Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
My mother does not allow me to see nambi saying that she is having great love which cannot be eliminated; after seeing thirukkuRungudi nambi who is having unimpaired glories, his divine form which is the apt destiny to be served and enjoyed by groups of nithyasUris associating with each other and which appears in a raised manner amidst a flood of radiance, appeared in my heart; it is difficult to know for even those who are very wise.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kazhiya mikkadhu Or kAdhalaL ivaL – The love which does not have a match and cannot be seen in anyone else; alternative explanation – the love which keeps increasing as days go by; SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 5.4 “SOkaSchakila kAlEna gachchathAhyabagachchathi | mamachApaSyatha:kAnthAmahanyaha nivarthathE ||” (People in general will forget the sorrows as time goes by; but for me, as time goes by the sorrow increases) – people in general, will be very sad on the day of getting separated from their beloved person, and will recover subsequently and forget about that; but for me, as days go by, the sorrow keeps increasing.
- annai kANa kodAL – The mother who first thought “I should see her falling in love”, does not allow me to see him now. So why is she [mother] doing like this now? She would not let parAnguSa nAyaki to have so much love to have herself finished [in suffering] and would like her to reach emperumAn and see them together. kANgai (seeing) means meditating here. It is said in periya thiruvanthAdhi 28 “nenjennum utkaN” (the heart/mind which is known as the internal eye). The mother even controlled the heart of parAnguSa nAyaki.
- vazhuvil … – one who is having faultless glories.
- nAn – Just as the glories have no separate existence from him, I who have no separate existence from him.
- kaNda pin – What is it that AzhwAr is seeing? From thiruviruththam 1st pAsuram “poyn ninRa gyAnamum” upto [just before] thiruvAimozhi 10.10.1 “muniyE nAnmuganE“, everything is part of a single stream of consciousness. All the others in between these two are just the visualisations in his heart.
- kuzhumi … – The groups of nithyasUris will engage in emperumAn as people will form a human chain [to hold each other for safety] and step in to a flood.
- sOdhi veLLaththin uLLE ezhuvadhu Or uru – As said in SrIvishNu purANam 1.9.67 “thEjasAm rASimUrjitham” (collection of radiance), the form is to be assumed amidst the flood of radiance.
- en nenjuL ezhum – He will shine in my heart, as he is shining amidst the nithyasUris.
When mother asks “But we are not seeing that”, she replies,
- Arkkum aRivu aridhE – Just as I cannot forget him, he cannot be known [seen] by one’s own self effort.
