Once water droplets, coming from rains, fall on them, they would wither off. Similar to that, as soon as I recite his divine name, I too stagger and fall down. The meaning hinted is that when she was already anguished due to separation from emperumAn, reciting his divine name weakened her further, making her to stagger and fall down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vAr kAlaththu oru nAL<\/strong> \u2013 one day, during the long period of time which is extending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>oru nAL tham vAsagam thandhu aruLArE<\/strong> \u2013 just as he is focussed on not showing his face forever, is he focussed on not saying a word too?
