Simple translation
parakAla nAyaki’s slim shoulders having golden complexion became pale; her eyes which are like kayal fish fighting each other, have forgotten to have sleep; due to love in your matters, her desire is increasing further; I do not know what disease this beautiful girl has acquired. How will it end for the one who has beautiful, well grown bosoms which are fitting with each other, on top, to shrink the lightning like waist? What are you thinking in your divine heart? Oh lord of my clan who has arrived in thiruvidavendhai! You should mercifully speak a word.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
pon kulAm … – Having golden complexion, the shoulders which became pale being unable to bear the separation.
poru … – In her childish eyes which resemble fighting kayal fish, she has totally forgotten the concept of sleep, to be taught about it from the beginning.
anbinAl … – Due to the attachment towards you, the love she has is very great.
iv aNanginukku – For this distinguished girl who has such great beauty which will cause similar attachment towards her for others.
uRRa nOy aRiyEn – I am not aware of the disease which she has occurred to cause such stiffness in her. While the disease and the reason for the disease are identified as in “She became pale, forgot sleep, she has great love towards you”, she is saying “she is not aware” since she is not aware of the specific details in the reason. That is – she is saying “I am not sure how she got caught by him. Is it in his smile? Glance? Form? Qualities? I don’t know the exact reason how she was caught by him”.
min kulAm … – The bosoms which are grown on the top [of her body], which shrink the already curved, lightning-like waist. Already, the waist appears to be broken. On top of that, the bosoms grow together. For the one, who has such beautiful bosoms.
en kolAm – Mother is speaking reflecting upon her abandonment of her daughter. What is going to happen to my daughter in the end?
kuRippu … – When I, the mother abandon her and she gives up her self-effort, what are you who are in thiruvidavendhai to protect her, having such helpless state of hers as the reason, thinking in your divine heart? We saw in the case of vAli, how brothers don’t help; we saw in the case of prahlAdhAzhwAn, how father does not help; we saw how emperumAn helped him saying as in SrI bhagavath gIthA 18.66 “mAm Ekam SaraNam vraja” (Surrender unto me only) for arjuna who thought about himself and became frightened.
