Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- kUttuNdu … – After uniting to be said as a single entity, and separated, this is how his limbs are shining; alternative explanation – this is the shine he acquired after uniting with her.
- kOlath thAmaraik kaN sevvAy – One who has beautiful lotus like divine eyes and reddish lips.
- vAttam … – The freshness [in him] which was there during the union, will not disappear even in separation; it only doubled after flattening me.
- en karu mANikkam – Having the complexion of a blue carbuncle which cannot be forgotten even after getting separated from it. While he remains as said in SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam 36.42 “naivadhamSAn na maSakAn” (He will not drive away the flies and mosquitoes), she is saying this word just for his momentary delay!
- kaNNan mAyan pOl – Like the amazing krishNa; while uniting, he was obedient in massaging the hands and feet.
- kOttiya vil – Oh groups of clouds which are shining with rainbow/lightning! Just as kausthuba jewel adds lustre to his divine form, the rainbow/lightning is adding luster to the groups of clouds.
- kAttEnmin num uru – Don’t show your form which resembles death! There is no difference between emperumAn who tries to abandon me with such form and you!
When asked “How is that?” She says,
- en uyirkku adhu kAlanE – It is like death for my prANa which is consumed by separation and has become weak. After saying “kuzhAngaLgAL kAttEnmin num uru” (in first person), she is saying “adhu” (in third person), since she has turned her face away not desiring to see them.
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
