Oh mothers who gave birth to her and raised her! Your little girl who is having a beautiful dark complexion, is very beautiful like peacock and is like a young deer, is overruling us and is not hearing any word other than thiruththolaivillimangalam; is it due to her previous fortune? Or is it due to an amazing act done by one who is having a cloud like magnanimous form? His symbols and divine names are becoming more glorious on being spoken by her.

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

  • annaimIr – This is her age; it’s amazing that she is overruling us. This resembles how parASara rishi lovingly says “maithrEya“.
  • aNi mA mayil siRu mAn – The girl who is having beautiful complexion. Also explained as the girl who appears to be praiseworthy like a peacock.
  • siRu mAn ivaL nammaik kaivalindhu – One who previously felt shy to repeat the divine names clearly we taught her, is now beyond our reach.
  • kavalindhu – going beyond our reach.
  • ena vArththaiyum kEtkuRAL – Even if I told her what she is already thinking, she is not listening to me thinking that I am trying to pull her back; if I said thiruththolaivillimangalam, she will listen; ena vArththai – my words.
  • munnam nORRa vidhikolO – We were born together and raised together and I have not seen her engage in any activities [to get to this stage]. This must be a virtue from previous births!  It is said as “vidhir vidhAnam” (puNya is synonymous with vidhi:, vidhAnam). For the means she pursued, the result cannot be so great; this must be “sidhdha dharma palam” (the result of an established means, i.e., bhagavAn); and thus,
  • mugil vaNNan mAyangolO – Did he show his green necklace and divine form? The doubt in the first thought [munnam nORRa vidhikolO] is, there is no way such a great result can be attained by pursuing any insentient means [such as karma yOga, gyAna yOga, bhakthi yOga etc]. The doubt in the second thought [mugil vaNNan mAyangolO] is, we have not seen anyone attaining such result in this manner.
  • avan chinnam … – The symbols as said in “thavaLa oN sangu chakkaram” and the divine names such as “aravindhalOchanan”, “dhEvapirAn” etc.
  • ivaL vAyanagaL thirundhavE – Though they were glorious to start with, by being spoken by her, they became alive [more glorious]. Just as the divine names acquire more glory when bhattar [lovingly] says “azhagiya maNavALap perumAL“, sOmAsiyANdAn [lovingly] says “emperumAnAr” and ananthAzhwAn [lovingly] says “thiruvEngadamudaiyAn“; as said in samkshEpa rAmAyaNam “yEthvayA kIrthithA guNA:” (the qualities explained by you).
