SRI PERIYAZHWAR

(Translations by sri V.Sadagopan)

Context :-Kannan had played all day without feeling hunger or thirst .He has now slept from all that fatigue from exertion. He was still sleeping after dawn.Yashodai wishes to wake him up and remind him that he has not taken his mothers milk and invites him to nourish himself from sthanya Paanam

Meaning:- Oh lord,who sits with elegance,sweetness and comfort at Paramapadam and the diyva desam of Srivilliputtur, which is known for its lighting like slender waisted damsels with abundant koonthals,where the bees are swirling to access the honey inside the flowers there !Oh Hrishikesha who gave me the fame of being the blessed mother of a son like you ,who differs in every way from all the other children in your rupam gunam and cheshtais! I am indeed blessed.Please come and enjoy the nourishing milk from my breast!


SRI ANDAL

(Translations by Smt Kalyani Krishnamachari and Sri V.Sadagopan)

Context:-This paasuram belongs to the set of paasurams mannu perumpugazh in which Sri Andal appeals to the Kuyil(cuckoo bird) to unite her with lord Govindan.

Meaning:-In the desire to have the darsanam of the lotous feet of my lord who resides in Srivilliputtur with its abundance of gentle walking birds playing all over,my two beautiful fish shaped eyes are fighting with each other and refuse to close for sleep.Oh cuckoo! Please warble sweetly so that the peruman who measured all the world will come here,and unite with me.If you do that for me i will let you be friend with my beautiful pet parrot which has been brought up by me with great care and affection,by being fed with delicious food and milk.
