Maale Manivanna in English Translation
Thiruppavai Pasuram - 26 English Translation Text, Lyrics
(Here ,the young gOpis request the granting of drum , lamp , flag , canopy et al). Oh the embodiment of pure disinterested love ! Oh Lord of wonderful colour of the blue sapphire gem! May You listen to us
(1)who perform the " bathing during Maargazhi", an observance the great ancient people followed and (2) who are in the need of following SIX things (for the vratham):
(a)superior conches similar to Your great Paanchajanyam, which have the white hue of milk and which through their tumultous sound shakes all the worlds
(b) giant size drums/bhEris
(c) PallANDu singers
(d)decorative lamps
(e)dhvajam-banner& flags and
(f)a big canopy .
Oh Lord MaayAvin! the One who just reposed as a baby on a banyan leaf (Vatapathra-saayin) in the waters of Pralayam ! Kindly bless us with these six vrathOpakaraNams through Your limitless grace.
