Elle Ilangkiliye in English Translation
Thiruppavai Pasuram - 15 English Translation Text, Lyrics
In the group of the awakening songs of ten maidens , namely pasasurams
(6-15) ,this paasuram is the last one and is set in the form of conversation
between the maidens at the the threshhold of a house and the God-intoxicated
maiden inside the house.
The girls at the threshold : Hello! young parrot like damsel! are you fast
asleep even now ?
The maiden within answers: Do n't be harsh(lit. chilly) in calling me ; Oh
girls of higher strand ! just now I am coming.
The group outside: You can talk well.; we know it ( skill in speech)already.
The girl inside: As it is , you (all) are strong (in wordy combat); does
no't matter,let me the one (in harsh speech); (my apologies to you for my
harshness).
The group outside: Come quickly and join us.with whom else are you so
engaged (being separated form us)?
The girl inside: Have all our friends come already ?
The girls outside: Oh Yes.they have come. May You come out and take the
roll call lit.count for yourself. We would like to hear you sing in praise of
our Lord , who vanquished the unassailable elephant Kuvalayaapeedam, the court
elephant of Kamsan and who is highly powerful in destroying the enimity
pertaining to His enemies.
