Simple Translation
Oh, strong diseases, who came about due to sins and are appearing indecipherable, having faded! You would see that there is a disease for you too, which has come about on account of sins. Do not enter [us]! It is not easy for you to enter here. Stand at a distance. This is the temple, where one, who incarnated as narasimha, who is benevolent and who is my lord, resides forever. Hence, without feeling humiliated, try to escape from here. My physical form and AthmA are not similar to the way in which they were earlier. The AthmA is now protected by ISvaran.
vyAkhyAnam
mangiya valvinai nOygAL – Due to strong sins, which are indecipherable and which appear faded, many diseases are lying, in a faded manner, without being separated. This is similar to thiruvAimozhi 1.5.10 “sArndha iru val vinaigaL” (The two types of strong karmas (past deeds) which are lying together with me).
ingup pugElmin pugElmin– AzhwAr is pointing out to each disease separately and is telling them. These diseases make the AthmA to appear faded; these cannot by removed by the jIvAthmA, only paramAthmA could remove them.
umakkum Or valvinai kaNdIr – AzhwAr says that this is similar to saying death for death.
In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned additionally that there is a strong enemy for the diseases too.
ingup pugElmin pugELmin – He says several times so that it will be clear to them. parASara bhattar [one of our preceptors and the son of kUraththAzhwAn] would say that through the term ingu, AzhwAr is getting all those, who carry out mangaLASAsanam to emperumAn, together.
eLidhanRu – It is not easy for you [referring to diseases], like it used to be earlier. When the diseases ask him “What will happen?” he says …
kaNdIr – Have you not seen the way in which hiraNya kashyap suffered?
pugElmin – stop. When they ask him “Why should we not enter?” he says …
singap pirAn avan emmAn sErum thirukkOyil kaNdIr – Is there anyone who will be willing to enter the cave of a lion? AzhwAr considers the benefit accruing out of annihilating the enemy of prahlAdhan as his benefit. He tells the diseases “Do not suffer in the manner in which hiraNyan had suffered. Try and leave”.
In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that just as emperumAn had helped his followers by taking the form of SrI narasimha, he had helped AzhwAr too, making AzhwAr as his servitor; it is the permanent abode where emperumAn resides.
bangam – do not feel humiliated. Try to escape.
paNdu anRu – it is not like earlier times, when it was easier for you.
pattinam kAppE – Now, there is a strong protection.
We shall next consider the 5th pAsuram of this thirumozhi.
