Simple translation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
Oh female curlews! My life is in the hands of gOvindha, who is having simplicity; you are speaking in many distinct ways, uniting as if you are inside each other and moving around in my proximity! Unlike him who is having the fortune of being undisturbed in separation, I am having the sin of suffering on seeing similes to him; is my life present here? What shall I say on hearing your sounds which are weakened by the union?

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- avan kaiyadhE enadhu Aruyir – My life is in his hands. For a couple, isn’t it natural to have their lives in each other? Can you not understand this?
- anRil pEdaigAL – Should you who understand the joy of union, not understand the pain of separation?
- evan solli – Saying something. It appears that her mouth will burn if she repeats the words of the female curlews.
- nIr kudaindhu – Immersing in each other.
- Adudhir – You are interacting and enjoying.
- pudai sUzhavE – You are moving around in my surroundings. Just as those who try to capture a kingdom will surround the fort. Can I escape this by closing my ears or eyes! She feels that this is similar to perumAL (SrI rAma) and his army surrounding lankA to destroy it. Oh I am a sinner! There is nothing available in me for your enthusiasm.
- thavam seydhillA – I am not fortunate since I don’t have my life here to favour you. piLLAn would explain “I am not fortunate like him to be undisturbed in separation”.
- uyir ingu uNdO – She is saying “is it here!” and showing her heart, just as someone will show the light to a murderer.
- evan solli niRRum – What can I say to sustain myself?
- num … – While surviving in separation, after hearing the sounds of all of you who are immersed in union, will I able to survive that sound! Would your sound, not finish off those who hear it! Are you calling out, after closing your ears? [Are you not hearing your own voice?] SrI rAmAyaNam kishkindhA kANdam 80.10 “nisvanam chakravAgAnAm niSamya sahachAriNAm | puNdarIka viSAlAkshI katham EshA bhavishyathi ||” (perumAL said – How will sIthAp pirAtti, the one with a huge lotus like eyes, feel after hearing the sweet sounds of female chakravAka birds with their spouses?)
