Thiruppavai Pasuram - 4 English Translation Text, Lyrics
Oh Lord Varuna who is the prsding deity of ocean-like burst of rains! (We
pray to you so that ) you please do not make your gift very small(i.e. be
bounteous towards us). We request you (in the form of clouds) to pour
plenty of rains in the world;first you should get into the womb of the
deep seas and take excessive water ( so that even the sea becomes bereft of
water), make thunder (uproar), and go higher up (in the sky); (the color of)
your body should become as dark as that of the primordial cause of the
world ( Oozhi Mudalvan= Jagath Kaarana Bhuthan); you should become resplendent
with lightning, just as the dazzling discus (Aazhi=Chakram) held on the hand of
Lord Padmanabha with broad shoulders; you should make a thunderous roar like the
conch(Paanchajanyam) held on the hand of the Lord; you should bring forth rains
in abundance without any cessation,--the rains just like the shower of arrows
coming forth in succession from the bow (Saarangam) of the Lord.;your rains
should be for
the good of the world so that the world flourishes; and ,through your rains ,
we will have plenty of water and also happily take the ceremonial bath during
Maarghazhi month. ( Lord Vishnu's important weapons--discus, conch and bow
are cited here , in a form of invocation as it were; and Lord Padmanabha is
indicated as the Jagathkaranan-- the primordial cause ).
