Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn, my lord, is having divine hands with attractive divine ring, which were used to destroy the elephant having incomparable radiance and reddish face; he is the controller of periya thiruvadi (garudAzhwAr) who roams around attacking the vital airs and consuming the well built asuras (demons) who are having reddish hair and fire disc like eyes; would the lordship which has the ability to create the three worlds be a match for enjoying such emperumAn’s unlimited, distinguished, greatly enjoyable collections of auspicious qualities through thiruvAimozhi which is pleasing to bhAgavathas?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- nugarchchi uRumO – Would those match enjoying bhagavAn‘s qualities through thiruvAimozhi?
- mU ulagin vIdu pERu – Would the ability to create/annihilate the universe in a fraction of one’s vow/will be a match for that [thiruvAimozhi enjoyment]? emperumAn considers that as aiSwaryam (wealth/ability); AzhwAr considers it is only a purushArtham (goal, that too an inferior one). As said in “jagath vyApAra varjam” (the liberated soul will not engage in worldly activities such as creation, annihilation etc though he will be capable of them), would only that which is matching the nature of the self, be not considered as purushArtham?
- than kEzhil … – Finished the the elephant, kuvalayApIdam, which was having matchless pride, and having radiance and a red face due to anger.
- pon Azhik kai – One whose divine hand is decorated with beautiful divine ring. While hitting the elephant’s temple and cheeks, this is how his divine hand with the ring appeared to be.
- en ammAn – One who showed his divine form with the divine hand decorated with the ring and enslaved me. He finished the enemies with his strength and the devotees with his beauty.
- nigar … – Routinely attacking and consuming the lives of the well built demons having reddish hair, eyes which appear like burning fire matching their demoniac birth. emperumAn rides such garudAzhwAr; would anything match enjoying the unlimited, matchless, auspicious qualities of such emperumAn through thiruvAimozhi?
- mU ulagin vIdu pERu – AzhwAr is saying that even the joy of being seated on the throne ruling over the whole universe, will not match the joy of enjoying thiruvAimozhi.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
