Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai

  • mun ninRAy enRu – It seems that parAnguSa nAyaki has not even stood in front of her friends. She is like sIthAp pirAtti as said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 33.8 “yAnaSakyApurAdhrashtum bUthairAkASakairapi” (That sIthA who could not be seen by the great elements too). Seeing her boldness [in pursuing emperumAn by coming out], irrespective of those who like her [friends] or who censure her [mothers], start censuring her.
  • mannu mAdam – As said in SrIvishNu purANam 5.38.9 “vAsudhEvagruham thvEkam  na plAvayathi sAgara:” (krishNa’s palace cannot be destroyed even by the ocean), she is saying that these mansions will remain in tact even during praLayam (deluge).
  • nAn kaNda pin – I who will not withdraw. I who am free of any shyness.
  • senni … – Starting with the crown on the top of his head, one who is having countless ornaments. One who is having countless divine ornaments starting with the divine crown on his head which reveals his supremacy.
  • aNi kalan – the divinely beautiful combination of ornaments.
  • kannal pAl amudhu Agi – This implies all types of tastes.
  • vandhu … – After arriving in my heart, he is not leaving. They cannot censure the one who brought me out in to the fore front [emperumAn]; they are only capable of censuring me saying “mun ninRAy” (you stood in front). I too desire to forget him, but am unable to do so [you can suggest a way to forget him].

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
