Thiruvempavai
The Thiruvempavai (Tamil: திருவெம்பாவை, IAST: Tiruvempāvai) is a collection of songs composed by the poet and saint, Manikkavacakar.[1] It consists of 20 stanzas devoted to the Hindu God Shiva.[2] It forms part of the collection called Thiruvasagam, and the 8th book of the Thirumurai, a canonical text of the Tamil Shaiva Siddhanta. The songs form part of the Pavai ritual for unmarried young girls during the Tamil month of Margazhi.
Pavai genre
The pavai songs are part of an ancient tradition amongst unmarried young girls, where they would light lamps in the early mornings of Margazhi, and sing songs in praise of Lord Shiva. The 20 stanzas are sung, one on every day and then followed by the 10 songs of the Thiruppalliyezhucchi. It is believed that such rituals would bring prosperity and a suitable husband.
திருவெம்பாவை பாசுரம் பாடல் - 17
செங்கணவன்பால் திசைமுகன் பால் தேவர்கள் பால்
எங்கும் இலாதோர் இன்பம் நம் பாலதாக்
கொங்குஉண் கருங்குழலி நந்தம்மைக் கோதாட்டி
இங்கு நம் இல்லங்கள் தோறும் எழுந்தருளிச்
செங்கமலப் பொற்பாதம் தந்தருளும் சேவகனை
அங்கண் அரசை அடியோங்கட்கு ஆரமுதை
நங்கள் பெருமானைப் பாடி நலந்திகழப்
பங்கயப் பூம்புனல் பாய்ந்து ஆடேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
The rare Bliss that is not got by Vishnu (the red eyed one),
by Brahma (one with face in each direction) and by the other divines
- shall be ours! Mother (Shakti) - one of dark hair and bees around
the flowers she is adorning, pampers us. Removes all our faults.
Our Lord is residing and blessing in each of our homes,
blessing us giving the red lotus like Golden foot.
The Charming eyed king, the great Nectar for us, His slaves!
We, sing His praises and our virtue and prosperity shall rise!
We will bathe in this lotus filled water.

Thiruppavai
The Thiruppavai (Tamil: திருப்பாவை) is a set of Tamil devotional religious hymns attributed to the female poet-saint Andal (also known as Nachiyar, Kodhai or Goda Devi). She is considered the manifestation of Bhudevi, who has come down to earth as Periyalvar's daughter. She is said to have fasted (a 'Paavai nonbu') during the month of 'Margazhi' (Dhanurmaasam) and composed 30 religious hymns at the age of 5, to attain Perumal. It consists of thirty stanzas (paasurams) in praise of Thirumal (a manifestation of Lord Vishnu). It is a part of Divya Prabandha, a collection of the works of the twelve Alvars, that is considered an important part of the devotional genre of Tamil literature. The Thiruppavai has also been translated into Telugu by Mullapudi Venkataramana as Melupalukula Melukolupu. In Thiruppavai, Andal gives a universal call to all people to recite the name and glories of Lord Vishnu.
Paavai Genre
Thiruppavai belongs to the Paavai genre of songs, a unique Tamil tradition sung in the context of the Paavai vow (Vratham or ritual) observed throughout the month of Margazhi. Sri Vaishnavas sing these stanzas every day of the year in the temple as well as in their homes. This practice assumes special significance during Margazhi: each day of this month gets its name from one of the thirty verses. There are references to this vow in the late-sangam era Tamil musical anthology Paripadal.[5]
Andal's thirty songs contain the cardinal principles of Vaishnava dharma during the month of Marghazhi. Vaishnavas sing these songs to bring peace, prosperity and Divine Grace. Andal assumes the guise of a cowherd girl in these 30 verses. Andal appears intent upon performing a particular religious vow to marry the Lord, thereby obtain His everlasting company, and inviting all her girl-friends to join her. Towards the end we learn that she did not actually perform a religious rite; but is praying to be granted the service of the Lord for eternity. She yearns for everlasting happiness and service of the Lord.
