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 - 19
உங்கையிற் பிள்ளை உனக்கே அடைக்கலம் என்று
அங்கப் பழஞ்சொல் புதுக்கும் எம் அச்சத்தால்
எங்கள் பெருமான் உனக்கொன்று உரைப்போம் கேள்
எங்கொங்கை நின்னன்பர் அல்லார்தோள் சேரற்க
எங்கை உனக்கல்லாது எப்பணியும் செய்யற்க
கங்குல் பகல் எங்கண் மற்றொன்றும் காணற்க
இங்கிப் பரிசே எமக்கு எங்கோன் நல்குதியேல்
எங்கெழிலென் ஞாயிறு எமக்கேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
"The child in your hand is your own refugee",
because of our fear of that adage coming to existence,
our Lord, we tell you something, listen!
Let our breast not join the shoulder of somebody
who is not Your lover; Let my hand not do any service other
than for You; Night or day let my eye not see anything else.
If You, my Lord, give us this gift, let the Sun rise wherever,
what is our problem?

திருப்பாவை பாசுரம் 19
வழங்குபவர் திரு புரிசை அரங்க கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி அவர்கள், காட்பாடி
19. Kuthu Vilakeriya
Sahana - Misrachapu
குத்து விளக்கெரிய கோட்டுக் கால் கட்டில் மேல்
மெத்தென்ற பஞ்ச சயனத்தின் மேல் ஏறிக்
கொத்தலர் பூங்குழல் நப்பினை கொங்கை மேல்
வைத்துக் கிடந்த மலர் மார்பா வாய் திறவாய்
மைத் தடம் கண்ணினாய் நீ உன் மணாளனை
எத்தனை போதும் துயிலெழ ஒட்டாய் காண்
எத்தனையேலும் பிரிவு ஆற்றகில்லாயால்
தத்துவம் அன்று தகவேலோர் எம்பாவாய்
Explanation
In the light of the oil lamp,
On the ornamental four legged ivory cot,
On the soft bed filled with cotton,
Reclining on the busts of Nappinnai,
You sleep, Oh he who has a flower like heart,
Please open your mouth.
She who has, wide black eyes with collyrium.
We know that you will never allow him to wake up,
For you can never bear to be away from Him,
This is not that good,
And cannot be accepted by us.
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.
