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 - 13
பைங்குவளைக் கார்மலரால் செங்கமலப் பைம்போதால்
அங்கம் குருகினத்தால் பின்னும் அரவத்தால்
தங்கள் மலம்கழுவுவார் வந்து சார்தலினால்
எங்கள் பிராட்டியும் எங்கோனும் போன்று இசைந்த
பொங்குமடுவில் புகப்பாய்ந்து பாய்ந்து நம்
சங்கம் சிலம்பச் சிலம்பு கலந்துஆர்ப்பப்
கொங்கைகள் பொங்கக் குடையும் புனல்பொங்கப்
பங்கயப் பூம்புனல் பாய்ந்து ஆடேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
On account of the dark green "Kuvalai"
flower and the fresh bud of the red lotus,
and on account of the buzzing sound of the small-bodied creatures,
this brimming pond appears as our Goddess and our King
with those who come for refuge to wash away their impurities.
In this lotus filled pond we plunge in and thrust about.
Our conches and anklets together make a ringing sound,
breasts delight, even the water springs overflow. Swim in the pond.

திருப்பாவை பாசுரம் 13
வழங்குபவர் திரு புரிசை அரங்க கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி அவர்கள், காட்பாடி
13. Pullin Vaai Keendanai
Atana - Misrachapu
புள்ளின் வாய் கீண்டானைப் பொல்லா அரக்கனைக்
கிள்ளிக் களைந்தானைக் கீர்த்தி மை பாடிப் போய்ப்
பிள்ளைகள் எல்லாரும் பாவைக் களம்புக்கார்
வெள்ளி எழுந்து வியாழம் உறங்கிற்று
புள்ளும் சிலம்பின காண் போதரிக் கண்ணினாய்
குள்ளக் குளிரக் குடைந்து நீராடாதே
பள்ளிக் கிடத்தியோ. பாவாய். நீ நன் நாளால்
கள்ளம் தவிர்ந்து கலந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்.
Explanation
The lasses have reached,
The place of prayer for Pavai,
Singing the fame of our Lord.
Who killed the ogre who came like a stork.
And who cut off the heads of the bad ogre, One by one.
Venus has risen in the morning,
Jupiter has vanished from the sky,
The birds are making lot of sound,
Of beautiful one with wide eyes red as a flower.
Without taking bath by dipping
again and again in ice cold water,
Would you prefer to sleep.
Oh lass, On this holy day,
Do not stay aside, And come to bathe with 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.
