vyAkyAnam

ArAnum AdhAnum allaLArAnum allaL – she is not having any deficiency in her intellect. AdhAnum allaL – she is not without intelligence like insentient entities.

avaL kANIr – Hear about her demeanour as I narrate.

vArAr vanamulai – this talks about her youthful state where her bosoms cannot be left on their own and have to be covered in a corset. They should be supported by the beloved and if the beloved is not there, by her corset.

vAsavadhaththai enRu ArAnum sollappaduvAL – Isn’t she very famous? Isn’t she praised by all the distinguished persons? Isn’t she celebrated as a person without any deficiency in the assembly of sIthAppirAtti?

avaLum – parakAla nAyagi says that it was not she alone who followed unacceptable means to attain the beloved; even she [vAsavadhaththai] did the same.

than pErAyam ellAm ozhiya – I am saying all these words in order to make you people (parakAla nAyagi’s friends) agree with me since I do not want to let go of you. However, did she [vAsavadhaththai] not leave the large gathering of her friends in order to attain her beloved?  Just as a person cannot step on to fire, she could not stand amidst her friends; is she not more determined than I?

perum theruvE – did she seek a corner of the palace after leaving her friends? Despite being a princess, did she not walk on the major road?
