Anagha Sreenivas's video: Thiruppavai Pasuram 13- Pullinvai Keendanai- Anagha Sreenivas

Thiruppavai Series Day 13 Pasuram 13: “Pullinvai Keendanai” “Pullinvaai keendaanai-p-pollar arakkanai Killikkalainthaanai-k-keerthimai paadi-p-poi Pillaikal ellarum paavai-k-kalam pukkaar Velli ezhundhu viyazham urangitru Pullum silambina kaan podhari-k-kanninaai! kullak-kulira-k-kudaindhu neeraadaathe Palli-k-kidathiyo! Paavaai Nee nannaalaal Kallam thavirundhu kalandhu-el or empaavaai.” In this verse the effort is to wake up a girl with beautiful eyes, the girl appears to be sleeping lost in the thoughts of Lord Krishna, indicating that the girls were all inherently deeply devoted to the Lord and had Him in their thoughts most times, only given to laziness and reluctance to get out of their sleep in the early morning. The girls refer to the Lord as Krishna who tore up the jaws of the demon who took the form of a bird and as Rama who vanquished Ravana and destroyed his demon clan. Singing His praises the girls have gone forward to the holy place of worship, the morning planets are visible, the birds are out to search for their food, Oh beautiful girl, do not enjoy the thoughts of Krishna alone, come join us and let’s worship Him together.
