tiruppArthanpaLLi - Periya tirumozhi 4.8.8:   

ulagamEttum oruvan enRum
   oNSuDarODu umbar eydA
nilavum Azhip paDaiyan enRum
   nEsan enRum, ten tisaikkut
tiladam anna maRaiyOr nAngai
   dEvadEvan enRenROdi

   pArthanpaLLi pADuvALE.

A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan:
My daughter is adulating Him - "He is advitIya [unique/unrivalled/matchless], 
who is worshiped by the whole world.  He has fiercely effulgent tiruvAzhi 
[discus] as His divine weapon that cannot be approached even by the Moon, the 
Sun or the deva-s.  'eppOdum kaikazhalA nEmiyAn' [periya tiruvantAdi 87 - He 
has the discus that never leaves His hand].  He loves His devotees.  He is the 
devadevan of nAngai, which is inhabited by brahmaNa-s who are like a tilakam 
[mark on the forehead] of the Southern region.  She is singing about 
pArthanpaLLi and that is resulting in the town folk disparaging her.  She says 
she does not need the people who are belittling her by creating scandal, but 
she will sing about pArthanpaLLi.

B. SrI PVP:
Some folks say, "Why are you lamenting like this causing a heartache?" My 
daughter responds, "Am I the only one wailing for Him?  Doesnât everyone in 
the world long for Him also?"

en maDandai - My daughter.

ulagamEttum oruvan enRum - [sings] He is One whom the whole world is lauding 
and He is One who has no equal.

oNSuDarODu - the Sun and the Moon

umbar eydA - and the deva-s cannot reach.

nilavum Azhip paDaiyan enRum - the radiant discus.  He holds His divine weapon, 
the discus.

nEsan enRum - He is very fond of His bhakta-s.

ten tisaikkut tiladam anna maRaiyOr nAngai dEvadEvan - brahmaNa-s, who are 
decorative like a tilakam for the Southern areas live in nAngai; The Lord of 
the deva-s is staying in that place.

enRenROdi - so saying in several such terms.

palarum Esa - while a lot of people are detracting her.  Folks are defaming her 
saying that she has crossed her limits.  Just as nammAzhvAr says in 
tiruvAi.5.3.4 - "Uravar kavvai eru viTTu" - my daughter is treating their 
aspersion and abuse as a strength giving manure.  

pArthanpaLLi pADuvALE - she sings about pArthanpaLLi.

C. SrI UV:
 My Lord is One who is to be respected by those who neglect Him as well as His 
devotees. He loves His friends and foes alike. 

Even those who cannot understand divinity praise Him for His form and guNa-s.  
"pumsAm dhRshThi citta apahAriNam" - He stole the eyes and minds of even men.  
Because of His self-effulgence, He is beyond the reach of even deva-s.  Even 
though we all know that Her Lord is the One, praised by all, her talks have 
been the cause of this defamation.  She is madly in love with pArthanpaLLi.

eydA - [please note the difference in interpretation here]  instead of 
associating 'eydA' with 'nilavum', it should be taken to denote emperumAn.  It 
does not refer to the Sun or the Moon; the oNSuDar refers to perumAL's 
effulgence.

D. SrI PBA: 
ulagam Ettum - The term 'ulagam' [world] can be represented in two ways - 1. 
tolkAppiyam says - "ulagam enbadu uyarndOr mATTE' [the term 'ulagam' denotes 
only great people]; thus, He is extolled by great, intelligent, learned people. 
 2. general term for 'world'; He is idolized by all the worlds.

oNsuDar etc - [SrI PBA takes the same stand as SrI UV] can refer to both the 
Sun & the Moon and emperumAn.

ten disaikkut tiladam anna - the tilakam can be an adjective for the brahmaNa-s 
in nAngai or for nAngai itself.

nEsan - the samkRt word 'sneham' becomes 'nEsam' [friendship] in tamizh.

palarum Esa - People leading worldly lives ask for food and clothes [uNDiyE 
uDaiyE ugandODum]; when somebody sings about a divya deSam that emperumAn 
loves, that becomes the cause of scandal.  Such folks like only when those 
things like food and clothes are solicited. bhagavad bhakta-s jest about the 
mundane, loukika acts of samsAri-s; in the same manner, the samsAri-s joke 
about the activities of bhagavad bhakta-s.
