Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
After seeing thiruththolaivillimangalam which is inhabited by experts in eternal vEdham which is classified into four, she is not having control in anything and has become uncontrollable. You [her mothers], who gave birth to her and raised her, have seen! Everything she recites is about krishNa, the great benefactor who is humble towards his devotees and is having an ocean like blackish form; she is not having any control and is becoming more joyful due to meditating upon such aspects; with great joy in her heart, she has weakened.

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- niRkum nAnmaRai – The four vEdhams which are eternal. nithyathvam (eternal) means the way it is propagated by one person who teaches it as heard previously and the other who person repeats it, and it goes on like this forever. Hence vEdham is eternal. Since it is apaurushEyam (not created by any one), it is free from defects.
- vANar – Those who can claim the vyAsAsanam [the seat of vEdha vyAsa who divided the vEdham into four and explained brahma sUthram].
- vAzh – Those who can visualize bhagavAn who is explained through vEdham and hence live joyfully.
- vAzh tholaivillimangalam – The town where bhagavAn who is the meaning of vEdham, is visualized. Those who are in the higher platform of yOgam as said in SrIvishNu purANam 6.6.2 “yOgAth svAdhyAyam AmanEth” (Through yOgam, desiring to study the portions which are not yet studied) instead of just being as said in the same SlOkam “svAdhyAyAth yOgam AsItha” (studying the vEdham since it is ordained to do so).
- kaNda pin – You spoiled her by showing the togetherness of emperumAn and vaishNavas in that town.
- aRkam onRum aRavurAL – aRkam – humility/control. She gave up being obedient to our instructions.
- malindhAL – She became too engaged to be redeemed by our advice. She became unqualified to be redeemed.
- malindhAL kaNdIr ivaL – She became so great in attachment towards bhagavAn, which is beyond my comprehension.
- annaimIr – In knowing her state, there is no difference between you who try to redeem her and me who thinks I know her. Only if samsAris [materialistic persons] can know about the activities of nithyasUris [eternally free assistants of emperumAn in paramapadham], we can understand her state.
- kaRkum … – Whatever she speaks, they only related to his divine names, that too, those which are related to his physical beauty and his obedience towards his devotees. It is well known that “krishNa is obedient towards his devotees”.
- pirAn – The benefactor who let me enjoy his physical beauty making himself available to me.
- enRE oRkam onRum ilaL – She is not feeling any fatigue due to continuously reciting his divine names. While it is said “due to the unfortunate situation of being separated, she will not even be able to recite his divine names completely”, she kept reciting without any fatigue. It appears that the divine name itself will make her sustain and recite it; it is said in thiruvAimozhi 1.7.10 “pAdi iLaippilam” (I have no reason to take a break from glorifying his incomparable auspicious qualities). oRkam – midi (poverty); not having fatigue; alternative explanation – oRkam – obedience; that is, not feeling shy to speak in this manner in front of the mothers.
- ugandhu ugandhu – Becoming more and more joyful by meditating upon his beauty, simplicity through his divine names.
- uL magizhndhu kuzhaiyumE – Due to the great loving joy, the AthmA itself becomes weak.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
