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

  • andharam ninRu uzhalginRa – While you have nothing to torment here, you are feeling agitated needlessly here.
  • yAnudaip pUvaigAL – Oh my mynAs! Can you, who are my belonging, do what is done by common persons? It appears that whenever I claim something as mine, that is sufficient to be tormented [by that]! Even he remained mine and tormented me!
  • num thiRaththu Edhum idai illai – on your side, there is no reason to torment me; also implies her saying “there is nothing left in me for your enthusiasm”.
  • kuzhaREnmin – Don’t finish me off with your incoherent sounds! Only if he remains relaxed in his efforts, you should be trying hard in this manner! Did he leave any opportunity for you!
  • indhira gyAlangaL kAtti – Showing his beautiful form which cannot be ignored by anyone, his qualities (simplicity) and activities. Since these are ever changing, she is saying “poygaL” (illusion). indhiragyAlam and poy (false) are synonyms.
  • Ezh ulagum koNda – While setting out to take away others’ belongings, he will completely take them away without leaving anything for them.
  • nam thirumArvan – Showing me the fame he acquired by his love. He did not engage with pirAtti due to his love; it is only to attract others by showing that relationship. Also explained as her saying – just as he told a few lies to [re]claim the earth, he pretended to engage with me and separate from me, as a means to finish me off.
  • nam Avi uNNa nangu eNNinAn – He looked out for a good means to finish us off. You have nothing to do here. Are you thinking that there is some shortcoming in the acts of emperumAn who is sarvaSakthi (omnipotent) and trying to help him! Also said as – she is feeling distressed and saying “he gave a deadly glance to finish me off”.
