Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- uyirkku adhu – She is saying it “that”, since she cannot spell it out as it does not stop at hurting her externally.
- kAlan enRu – Feeling that they don’t stop with tormenting but will finish her.
- ummai – You who pray to serve me.
- nAn – Me who is the irrefutable mother.
- irandhERku – Did I order you? For me who surrendered unto you due to my unbearable situation.
- nIr – You who are controlled by me. You became the murderers of those who surrendered unto you.
- kuyil paidhalgAL – Your childishness ended up taking away my life! Though you are not matured, should you not know your mother?
When they asked “What did we do?” She says,
- kaNNan nAmamE kuzhaRik konRIr – You finished me by incoherently saying krishNa’s divine names which have no remedy. Could you not have spoken at least once, SrI rAma’s qualities which are said to be “mruthasanjIvanam” (medicine which will bring back life in a dead person)?
- thayir … – I gave curd and old rice, milk and freshly cooked rice at the proper times and taught you the divine names and you have returned the favour nicely for that!
- nal vaLam UttinIr – You made me enjoy this good wealth! I cared for you all along; and you have come here and tormented me. Did these cuckoos ended up having annadhOsham (poisoned food)?
- paNbudaiyIrE – While there is apt relationship and odedience, you are having great humility! [sarcasm] You are being merciless towards your protector!
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
