What shall I who am experiencing cruelty, say about the attractive pastimes of my creeper-like very slim daughter?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kodiya vinai yAdhum ilanE ennum – My daughter said – I do not have karmas which mercilessly torture bound souls. She is reciting the same which is explained as bhagavAn‘s nature in rig vEdham “anaSnannanyO abhiSAkaSIthi” (paramAthmA who is different from jIvAthmA is shining radiantly due to not experiencing the results of actions) and in SrI bhagavath gIthA 4.14 “na mAm karmANi limpanthi” (I am neither affected by the results of karma nor I am attached to them). Whatever is explained in thiruvAimozhi 7.5.2 “nAttil piRandhu padAdhan pattu” (being born in this material realm and going through sufferings), is based on his voluntary pursuit.
- AvEnum … – She said – Not that I am unaffected by these, am I separate from them [sinful acts]? Those sins are nothing but my anger/displeasure.
- seyvEnum … – She said – I am the one who creates these sins in those who are inimical towards devotees. seygai indicates his engaging the enemies of his devotees into sinful acts [to facilitate their downfall]. SrI bhagavath gIthA 16.19 “thAnaham dhvishtha: krUrAn” (I push those evil persons into demoniac births).
- thIrppEnum – She said – I am the one who declares as in SrI bhagavath gIthA 18.66 “sarvapApEbhyO mOkshayishyAmi” (I will relieve you from all sins), to have them not affect those who are surrendered to me.
- kodiyAn ilangai seRREnE ennum – nanjIyar mercifully explained the usage of the word “kodiyAn” (the cruel person) as done by the divine mother of parAnguSa nAyaki, since emperumAn himself did not consider him as a worthy enemy [so he did not describe him as cruel]; since parAnguSa nAyaki is possessed by him, she too would not say like that. periya thirumozhi 5.7.7 “surikuzhal kanivAyth thiruvinaip piriththa kodumaiyil kaduvisai arakkan” (the evil minded demon who separated pirAtti who has beautiful hairs and reddish lips).
- kodiya puL … – Did sarvESvaran who has periya thiruvadi (garudAzhwAr) who is like death personified for the enemies of emperumAn’s devotees, enter her?
- kodiya ulagaththIrkku … – Two explanations – 1) the people of this world who have gathered around to hear [about her daughter]; 2) those who are self-centered in asking her to explain without understanding whether the situation can be explained or not. What shall I tell you?
- kodiyEn … – I who have committed sins to hear words said by my daughter who is imitating emperumAn. [kOlangaLE] the actions of my daughter; the efforts of my daughter.
