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

kumiRum Osai vizhavoli – The grand festivities have the reverberating sounds of those who recite vEdham, those who sing classical music, those who sing songs, those who recite pAsurams etc which make it impossible for one to distinguish among letters, words and meanings as said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 6.8 “thEshAm puNyAhagOshOtha gambhIra madhurasvana: | ayOdhyAm pUrayAmAsa thUryAnAdhAnunAdhitha: ||” (The sound of vEdha manthram recitations of the vaidhikas along with the sound of the musical instrument thUriya, spread everywhere in ayOdhyA). My goodness! Should one not retain their daughters on hearing this sound! It appears that the sound implies “this place will take away your child”. Seeing the town, the residents of the town and the festivities which are enjoyed there, would any one bring her there?
koNdu pukku – You knowing well about her and still bringing her there.
amudha men mozhiyALai – Her speech is such that, it will give immortality to those who listen to that [implies that those who listen to thiruvAimozhi will reach paramapadham and will not return]. You have become unfortunate not to hear her speech. That is, after entering thiruththolaivillimangalam, she stopped talking to them. Her speech is as described in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 66.15 “madhurA madhurAlApA” (one who is beautiful and speaking sweet words). One who desired to listen to her speech, acquired her.
men mozhi – Difference from amrutham (nectar). amrutham cannot be heard; it can only be tasted. Tenderness is only present in this [her speech].
nIr umakku Asai inRi agaRRinIr – You who have heard her speak and have let her slip from you.
thimir koNdAl oththu niRkum – She remained silent being unable to enjoy the enjoyable emperumAn as said in “sthabdhOsi” (stunned). Also explained as having become fully enlightened and remained silent as said in “sthabdhOsyutha” (stunned).
maRRu ivaL – If she speaks anything more now …
dhEva dhEva pirAn enRE – Even while seeing emperumAn here she only thinks “the lord of nithyasUris who doesn’t have any ignorance, appeared here being easily approachable”. Is it possible to redeem her, whose speech matches emperumAn’s supremacy?
enRE nimiyum – Starting to speak about his simplicity saying “Such great emperumAn is manifesting such simplicity here”, she will be unable to complete the words, and have her lips twirl. With twirling lips and teary eyes.
nekku – becoming broken
osindhu – becoming overwhelmed with emotions
karaiyum – melted to become fluid.
nekku osindhu kariyumE – As the bank will lose its form during a great flood after loosening and giving up its strength, parAnguSa nAyaki too melted to be not seen in her whole form.

In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
