Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- ina vEy malai … – She said “I effortlessly held the gOvardhana hill which has abundance of bamboos, like an umbrella was held upside down”.
- inam ERugaL … – She said “Not just one or two, but seven deadly bulls were killed at once by me by strangling their necks”.
- ina An kanRu … – She said “I shepherded the calves which were of the same age as me as said in SrIvishNu purANam 5.17.19 ‘vathsa madhyagatham bAlam’ (child amidst calves)”.
- ina Anirai … – She said “as those who practice brahmacharyam (bachelorhood) followed by gArhasthya dharmam (householder life), I first tended the calves in my childhood and later tended cows”.
- ina Ayar … – She said “While I engage in mischievous activities along with the cowherd boys of my age as said in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 3.1.1 “thannErAyira piLLaigaLOdu” (krishNa along with boys who match his age, qualities etc), there is none who can match my mischiefs”.
- inath thEvar … – Did the leader of nithyasUris who are comparable to emperumAn in not having any expectations from anyone, enter my daughter? [Here, inam is explained as “same species”]
- inath thEvar … -Alternate explanation – Since the nithyasUris do not enjoy bhagavAn individually and enjoy as a group only, inam indicates many groups of nithyasUris. It is already said in thiruvAimozhi 2.3.10 “adiyArgaL kuzhAngaL” (groups of nithyasUris).
- ina vEl … – What shall I say to you all who are sharply observing her thinking “what will she end up with?”.
When asked “What is the difficulty in explaining?”, she says
- ina vEl kaNNi … – Shall I explain the torment she is going through which would normally be experienced by those who are caught in her eyes? Those who are caught in her eyes go through what is explained in thiruviruththam 6 “uyir kAmingaL gyAlaththuLLE” (Oh those who are in this world! Save yourself).
