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 30 days ( '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 sixth pasuram sung in Ragam Shankarabaranam.There are still some maidens who are asleep and ANDAL and her retinue wake them up by going to the houses of 10 other young maidens in the village to go to the river and observe the pavai nonbu.
