In the sixth pAsuram, parAnguSa nAyaki stops her pet parrot which tells the divine names without understanding her state saying “I raised you to please me by reciting the divine names, when I am in stable condition. Don’t tell the divine names, when I am in this unmanageable state!”

Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- nangeNNi – Did I not raise you to recite the divine names when I can handle them and refrain while I cannot handle them?
- nAn vaLarththa – I raised you as a mother, who raises a single child, would care so much for that child; it seems that if I show love towards something, it will move away from me! Even he is obedient to me like the parrot [only to leave me].
- siRu kiLip paidhalE – siRumai – age. paidhal – not having the right growth for that age as well. It is due to your childish nature that you are tormenting me.
- in kural – It is like saying “kUriya vEl” (sharp spear).
- nI mizhaRREl – Don’t finish me off with your soft words with deep meanings! Is there any one who tries to kill one’s own mother?
- en Ar uyirk kAguththan – He united with me so intimately that I am unable to sustain myself in separation. He remains thinking as said in thiruvAimozhi 3.6.8 “thayarathaRku magan thannai anRi maRRilEn” (I won’t exist for any one other than the son of dhaSaratha).
- nin seyya vAy okkum vAyan – He has a mouth similar to that of yours. We can highlight a simile to his limbs but cannot fully comprehend the greatness of his limbs.
- kaNNan kai kAlinan – One who has reddish eyes, hands and divine feet.
- nin pasum sAma niRaththan – He has your cool blackish complexion.
- pasum sAmam – Instead of being very dark (hard on the eyes), it is cool black complexion. Why is he having so many enemies for me in his divine form [every limb is tormenting her]?
- kUttuNdu nInginAn – He united with me, and separated knowing my nature quite well; aren’t your ways/acts enjoyable only when he is with me? Wouldn’t only rAvaNa et al torment those who are separated? Would the favourable ones torment too?
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
