Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
While I have attained the ultimate, fluid [melted] state out of love towards your mutually fitting pair of divine feet, saying incohesively due to attachment “Oh one who previously churned the expansive ocean, accepting the nectar and offering it to the dhEvas, and who is having lordship! Oh infinitely radiant enjoyable entity for me!” , you gave this body which is a baggage; due to that, the five senses are using the very strong sensual pleasures to torment me by pulling me to the directions of their liking. What a disaster!

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- en param sudar … – Calling you saying incohesively “Oh one who is favouring me by manifesting your beautiful form”.
- un iNaith thAmarai … – It is the true nature of this AthmA to be in a fluid [melted] state having experienced the enjoyability of your divine feet which appear like a pair of fresh flowers which are mutually fitting.
- adhu niRkach chumadu thandhAy – While this is my true nature, you gave me this body which would push me away from you and engage me in worldly pleasures; you gave me this body to let me enjoy you; but the same body led to my loss. If the crown of a prince was removed and a baggage [which is a burden] was placed on his head, those who don’t know that he is prince, will use him in their service. [Similarly] The body you gave me to experience you, is now serving the senses. You gave this body, which is the baggage.
- van parangaL … – Am I fearing that I am engaged in inappropriate matters? [No] If I am given manageable burden, can I not bear it? Placing heavy baggage.
- aivar – I can manage if they were just one or two [but they are five].
- thisai thisai valiththu – Will I not move slowly, at least if they all pulled me in the same direction?
- eRRuginRanar – [present tense] If one is the owner, one may pause for a bit before harming again. These senses will place heavy baggage on a weak person, will surround him from all sides and pull from all directions.
- mun paravai … – Oh one who is having great shoulders to churn the ocean, extract the nectar from it and distribute them to the dhEvas who were interested in ulterior aspects [instead of kainkaryam to emperumAn]! You have not driven out my senses fully and manifested the beautifully decorated form which you assumed during the churning of the ocean!
