My daughter said “enjoyable svargam is at my disposal”; she said “narakam which is not having special features is at my disposal”; she said “mOksham which is shining due to its distinguished form is at my disposal”; she said “all creatures which are putting efforts to attain these aforementioned results are at my disposal”; she said “I am the supreme causal entity who does not expect any help from anyone to control all of these through my mind”; Is this how emperumAn who is having form resembling a cloud which is having a fresh form, shining lightning and multi-coloured rainbow, entered her? How can I say to you all who are being fixed on “we will not leave until we hear”, the manner it [this experience] was for my daughter who is having beautiful shining locks of hair with garland?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kOlam koL … – svarga which is an abode of pleasure. Since it is impermanent [as being part of the material realm], the pleasure factor explained here is based on the superficial attractive nature of it. nanjIyar mercifully explained “See, though svargam is similar to narakam, the entrance will be nicely decorated”.
- kOlam il … – She is saying narakam which does not have anything which makes us believe that it is joyful unlike svargam which misleads us to make us believe about [fake] joy [i.e., narakam has pure sorrow without even a trace of joy], is at her disposal.
- mOkkamum … – She said “mOksham [paramapadham], from where there is no return, is also at my disposal”. She said “all of these aspects starting with srushti (creation) as said in the 1st pAsuram “kadal gyAlam seydhEn” upto mOksham (liberation), are all my own actions”.
- kOlam koL uyirgaLum … – Like those who arrange stage-plays, assuming the forms of dhEva (celestial being), manushya (human); the jIvAthmAs who assume these variegated forms [they are all at my disposal]; alternative explanation – jIvAthmAs who are identified by their gyAnam (knowledge) and Anandham (bliss).
- kOlam koL thani mudhal … – Identifying the mUla prakruthi (primordial matter) which is the cause for everything mentioned here, or identifying the sankalpa rUpa gyAnam (knowledge in the form of his will) [of bhagavAn]. That is, sarvESvaran who is filled with all auspicious qualities, and having prakruthi which is the cause for variegated effects and sankalpa rUpa gyAnam, as his prakAram (attributes, forms).
- kOlam koL mugil vaNNan … – When citing the cloud as an example for emperumAn‘s divine form, the cloud should first be decorated [to try and match his beauty]. Cloud can be compared to his divine form only when it shining with lightning, roaring with thunder and is having a rainbow.
- kOlam koL ulagaththIrkku … – For you all, who are fixated in hearing about my daughter. Alternative explanation – you all [materialistic people] who have groomed your hair and nails, and have your bodies decorated. What can I say to you all?
- kOlam … – The emotions which occurred in my daughter who is having beautiful hair and garland. What can I say about my daughter who torments those who saw her beautiful hair and garland, herself being tormented here?
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
