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 eleventh pasuram sung in Ragam Huseni. Another slumbering girl, a scion of a prosperous family, is awakened in this somg pointing out her privileged status and her apparent reluctance to  wake up and get ready for the austerity ritual. “Oh, golden creeper of a girl, you are born in the family of wealthy cowherds who are adept at milking a slew of young cows in quick succession and vanquishing their enemies while maintaining a virtuous conduct. You are like a beautiful peacock and you have a shapely waist  rivaling the hood of a cobra. Please come out. Several of your friends have gathered in front of your courtyard singing the praise of the lord who has the complexion of dark clouds. But you are still fast asleep without any movement or response to our calls to you to come out. Why are you indulging in this indifferent action, oh wealthy girl?”
