January 07, 2023 Maari Malai | #thiruppavai #pasuraman 23 | #margazhibeats
Pasuram 23 : Maari Malai Muzhainjil
Ragam : Bilahari
Singer : Madhu Iyer
Venue : Brahma Vidya Mandir
Meaning of the pasuram
In the rains, inside a hill cave
Lies asleep the great lion, with his mate
With fiery eyes then
Awakens the majestic lion
Shaking his mane in all directions
And straightening himself with a roar
He steps out
Just as the mighty lion, O Blue-hued One,
Do come out from Your temple
And graciously ascending Your great throne,
Ask of us why we have come to You,
And bestow Your grace upon us!

Pasuram 22 : Angan Maa Gnyalathu
Ragam : Yamuna Kalyani
Singer : Madhu Iyer

Meaning of the pasuram
As the kings of this beautiful world
Having shed their ego, surrender to You
And assemble near the foot of Your bed
Thus have we gathered and come to You
Like a half-bloomed lotus flower with a small mouth like a bell
Will your lotus-red eyes
Deign to glance at me?
Like the rising moon & the sun,
With both your beautiful eyes,
If you look upon us
All our sins will be destroyed!

To sing Your praise,

Singer : Madhu Iyer

In the glow of the lamps
On the bed with ivory legs
On a mattress of soft cotton
Lay Nappinnai with her fragrant tresses adorned with flowers
On Her bosom do you rest comfortably
O One with the broad chest
Open your mouth and speak!
O Nappinnai, with big kohl-lined eyes
Won’t you wake up your husband
For a moment even?
And even for a moment
Won’t you bear the separation from Him?
Your true nature
Is not thus!

And the koels sing
Atop the madhavi flower-bowers

We wait to sing of your beloved,
With your red lotus-hued hands
Adorned by jingling bangles, Arise & open the door,
That we may sing in bliss!

For our ritual, the drum was promised
By the Blue-hued Enchanter
Yesterday itself
And so we have come, pure of heart
Do not, with your very first words, naysay us O master!
Open the door of devotion to the Lord!

Pasuram 15 : Elle Ilamkiliye
Ragam : Begada
Singer : Madhu Iyer
Venue : Brahma Vidya Mandir
The fifteenth pasuram is like a dialogue between a clever gopika, & Andal, who persuades her to let go of her lassitude & join the devotees. This song was composed in chaste Tamil over 1200 years ago by the only female Vaishnavite saint Kodhai Alwar, or Andal as she is popularly known. The pasuram is a part of the Thiruppavai, a set of thirty songs sung in Margazhi (mid-December to mid-January).
Meaning of the pasuram
Oh, beautiful young bird !
We are at your door, are you still asleep?
Don't be harsh, my young friends! I am coming
Oh, well do we know your stories & your skilled tongue
You are the more skilled ones, indeed,
But let it be me, as you say!.
Come quickly now! What prevents you?
Has everyone come?
They have come indeed, you may count them yourself!
The One who killed the mighty elephant (Kuvalayapidam)
And destroyed the ego of foes
Of that Divine Enchanter
Come, let us all sing together!

In your backyard, in the garden pond
The red lotuses have bloomed
And the blue lotuses (lilies)
Have closed their petals Saffron-robed sages with their white teeth
Are going to their temples to blow the conch You who promised to awaken us earlier
You wonderful girl! Wake up
O maiden with the shameless tongue! He who holds the Conch & the Discus in His Hands
The lotus-eyed One, of Him let us all sing!
