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 - 18
அண்ணாமலையான் அடிக்கமலம் சென்றிறைஞ்சும்
விண்ணோர் முடியின் மணித்தொகை வீறு அற்றாற்போல்
கண்ணார் இரவி கதிர்வந்து கார்கரப்பத்
தண்ணார் ஒளிமயங்கித் தாரகைகள் தாம் அகலப்
பெண்ணாகி ஆணாய் அலியாய்ப் பிறங்கொளிசேர்
விண்ணாகி மண்ணாகி இத்தனையும் வேறாகிக்
கண்ணார் அமுதமாய் நின்றான் கழல்பாடிப்
பெண்ணே இப்பூம்புனல்பாய்ந்து ஆடேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
As the heaps of precious gems on the crowns
of the celestial powers lose their radiance,
when they go to salute the feet lotuses of the Lord of "Annamalai",
the stars fade away with their cold luminance when the one in the eye -
Sun comes to remove the darkness. Being female, male, neuter, rays
filled sky, earth and Being apart from all these,
One who stands as the nectar for the eyes, singing His ornate
Foot, Oh girl, bathe in this floral stream.

உந்து மத களிற்றன் ஓடாத தோள் வலியன்
நந்தகோபாலன் மருமகளே நப்பின்னாய்
கந்தம் கமழும் குழலி கடை திறவாய்
வந்து எங்கும் கோழி அழைத்தன காண் மாதவிப்
பந்தல் மேல் பல் கால் குயிலினங்கள் கூவின காண்
பந்து ஆர் விரலி உன் மைத்துனன் பேர் பாடச்
செந்தாமரைக் கையால் சீரார் வளை ஒலிப்ப
வந்து திறவாய் மகிழ்ந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
Hey, Who is the fair daughter-in-law,
Of Nanda gopa, who has several elephants,
And who is a great hero who never ran away from his enemies,
Hey Lady Nappinnai, who has hair surrounded by holy scent,
Please be kind to open the door.
The cocks are everywhere waking us up,
The koels flock on the jasmine Pandals,
And coo so that we all wake up,
Hey Lady who happily plays ball,
To help us sing your Lords fame,
With your hands with tingling bangles,
Please open the door with happiness,
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.
