Gist : The sixth pathigam describes the magnificence of Lord Shiva, who is majestic beyond imagination and yet compassionate to His devotees. The old saying, ‘No pain no gain’ is apt for the message of this song. It implores us to overcome our lack of devotion or awareness of spirituality, and take sincere efforts to understand the divine.

Thiruvempavai’ are a set of twenty songs that are sung in Shiva temples in the month of Margazhi. The songs are sung early in the morning, one on every day, followed by ten songs of the ‘Thirupalliyeluchi’.
The paavai 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. It was believed that such rituals would bring prosperity and a suitable husband.
The ‘Thiruvempavai’ songs, along with the ‘Thiruppavai’ songs composed in honour of Lord Vishnu, resound in temples across Tamil Nadu during the cold days of December and January.The songs are even sung during the coronation of the King of Thailand!
The twenty songs of the ‘Thiruvempavai’ form a part of the ‘Thiruvasakam’, a set of ancient Tamil hymns that date back to the 9 CE, and were composed in Annamalaiyar temple by the poet-saint Manickavasagar. Each song in the ‘Thiruvempavai’ is a fervent expression of the poet's deep devotion and surrender to the divine, and quest for spiritual enlightenment.
The songs are written as conversations between a sleeping maiden, reluctant to wake up early, and her friends who try to persuade her to accompany them to the temple.

A sixer off thiruvempaavai 6...ragam kamas, guess only commas until the final full stop. Madhu's thamizh diction a perfect 10 ( perfect ten and perfection) as along as she does not encounter VILLAYAATTU, VILLAYADA VAA and VILLAKKU. With WILL (VILL) power she WILL overcome this hurdle soon :-) :-)
