Thoomani madhathu.......Thiruppavai---9

Thoomani madhathu sutrum villakeriya dhoopang kahamazhath thuyilannaimel kan valarum ,maman maghale ! manik kadhavam thaalthiravai.
Mameer avalai yezhupeero?unmagaldhaan oomaiyoandri sevido?Ananthalo?Yemap perumthuyil mandhirapattalo?
Mamayan !Madhavan! Vaikunthaa! yendrendru namum palavum navinre lorempavai!

Meaning:
In a mansion that is made of peerless precious stones , with lights ablaze and swirling in sweet smelling smoke of incense ,my mama's daughter who is sleeping on a soft bed is reluctant to get up!
Wake up ! And unlock the door studded with gems.
Maami! Is your daughter ,dumb?Or deaf? or is she exhausted?Has she sunk so deep into slumber that she is unable to surface?Or is she under some powerful spell ,binding her to her bed?
One who is full of miracles! The consortof Lakshmi! Vaikunthanatha!
We are standing outside in the early morning cold,chanting his names. Will you awaken her?

Inner meaning: 'O' Bhagwan, with faultless sacred body glowing with light of kowledge,radiating wisdom ,we ,who are looked upon by you, as your children ,have no other recourse but to cling to firmly to your self!
Graciously do away with this body, karmas and atma ,that is inimical to the merger with you!

This poetic hymn is one of the many unwithering flowers bestowed by the lumonious tendril [Andal] whose flowers adorned Bhagwan after,first being worn by her.

Courtsey--P.C.Acharya's Tamil commentary on Chithira Thiruppavai.
