Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- pakkam nOkki niRkum – She will be watching the side from where he may come; SrI rAmAyaNam 16.25 “naishA paSyathi rAkshasyOnEmAn pushpapaladhrumAn | Ekastha hrudhayAnUnam rAmavEvAnupaSyathi ||” (This sIthA, is not noticing the demoniac ladies, and these trees with flowers and fruits do not have her attention; she is fully focussed on seeing SrI rAma only). “naishA paSyathi …” – For sIthA, there is no difference when she sees the demoniac ladies or the flowers. “Ekastha …” – She is not seeing those who are near her. She becomes weakened since emperumAn is not appearing in that direction [where she is seeing].
- enRu annaiyarum munidhir – You who very well know how you engaged me in his service when I was totally ignorant, as said in thiruvAimozhi 3.3.3 “aRiyAk kAlaththuLLE adimaik kaN anbu seyviththu“, are now scolding me. Her nature is as explained in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 18.27 “bAlyAth prabruthi susnigdha:” (right from childhood, lakshmaNa was friendly towards SrI rAma).
- thakka … – thirukkuRungudi nambi who has fame as highlighted in every manner.
- nAn kaNda pin – After I, who has such fame of emperumAn as my sustenance, have seen him.
- thokka sOdhith thoNdai vAyum – The divine lips which appear like a reddish fruit and having abundance of radiance. As said in thiruvAimozhi 7.7.3 “kOlam thiraL pavaLak kozhum thuNdam” (a piece of shining pearl with enriched beauty), the divine mouth/lips which appear like a ball of radiance and a thoNdai/kOvai (a reddish) fruit. Usually, thoNdai/kOvai fruit is compared to the mouth/lips [though the divine mouth/lips have no match really].
- nINda puruvangaLum – The divine eyebrows which has no match, and is having unique fame due to not having any limit.
- thakka thAmaraik kaNNum – Similar to the eyebrows which have no end to their length, the divine eyes which are inconceivable and are matching those eyebrows. The lotus flower can only be highlighted as a sample, but is not really comparable to the eyes.
- pAviyEn Aviyin mElanavE – They are hurting the soul.
- pAviyEn – I am sinner – while the divine vision is nicely visible internally, I am not having the same externally.
