Anagha Sreenivas's video: Thiruppavai Pasuram 9- Thoomani Madthu- Anagha Sreenivas

Thiruppavai Series Day 9 Pasuram 9: “Thoomani Madthu” “Thoomani maadathu sutrum vilakkeriya Dhoopam kamazha thuyil anai mel kann valarum Maamaan magale! mani-k-kadavam thaalthiravaai! Maameer! Avalai ezhuppeero! Un magal thaan Oomayo? anri-ch-chevido? ananthalo? Ema-p-perum thuyil manthira-p-pattalo? Maa maayan, Maadhavan, Vaikuntan, enrenru Naamam palavum navinru-el or empaavaai.” A nice bed, comfortable and a conducive environment make for good deep sleep. In this verse Sri Andal and her friends struggle to wake up a girl (a relative – her Uncle’s daughter) who is sleeping in a nice bed, with nice lights and scented aromas so soundly that they suspect she has become deaf, not hearing anything, dumb not responding to their calls and so overcome by sloth so as not to wake up and come to open the ornate door. The girls plead to the mother of the girl to wake her up to which she responds, sing the many many names of the Lord as Maamayan, Madhavan and Vaikunthanan and being a pious and God loving girl, she will wake up on hearing the Lord’s names being chanted.
