- kazhal vaLai – Like “veL vaLai” (white bangles), here it is said as “kazhal vaLai” (bangles which are slipping from hands). “Slipping from hands” has become the adjective for the bangles. It is because of his abandoning of her, this slipping from hands is said as adjective for the bangles. pUrippa – to become complete. If he arrives, these bangles can be seen on her hands.
- yAm kaNdu kai thozhak kUdum kolO – Subsequently comes the verb [her action].
- yAm – [Reason for saying yAm in plural instead of yAn] Though only her bangles are slipping during separation, the situation is common for all.
- kuzhalenna yAzhumenna – The sound of the beetles can be compared to that of flute and yAzh. One would feel that they heard everything that is sweet in the world. As said in SrI rAmAyaNam bAla kANdam 1.18 “vishNunA sadhruSO vIryE sOmavath priya dharSana:” (SrI rAma is similar to vishNu in his valour and in his looks he is attractive to see like the moon).
- kuLir sOlaiyuL thEn arundhi – [The beetles] drinking the honey to warm them up in the cool and invigorating gardens.
- mazhalai vari vaNdugaL – thiruvallavAzh where young and attractive beetles, singing to express their joy. One who is standing there [emperumAn].
- isai pAdum – Just as those prideful and tender persons [sons of very rich persons] would wander around discarding sandalwood as waste wood and applying fragrant essences, these beetles will discard prose and will only sing the music.
- suzhal … – sarvESvaran who is having the divine disc which is rotating fiercely with the intent of destroying the enemies.
- suzhalin mali chakkaram – Also explained as the disc which is shining like rotating.
- thol aruL – Due to the natural mercy – will it be possible for me to worship him with my hands and have my bangles be complete [that is, remaining in my hands].
