Sri Raghavashram

Thiruppavai is a set of Tamil devotional religious hymns attributed to the female poet-saint Andal. She is Periyalvar's daughter. She was on complete fast, and bakthi for all the 30days ( 'Paavai nonbu') during the month of 'Margazhi' (Dhanurmaasam) and composed 30 religious hymns at the age of 5, to attain Lord Ranganatha Perumal. Thirupavai consists of thirty stanzas (paasurams). This is the third pasuram sung in Ragam Aarabhi.In this song the benefits that accrue upon observing the austerity-- such as adequate rain, plentiful crops and overall wealth and welfare---are mentioned.
