Day 24 - Andrivvulagam - Sindhubhairavi

Thiruppavai belongs to the Paavai genre of songs, a unique Tamil tradition sung in the context of the Paavai vow (Vratham or ritual) observed throughout the month of Margazhi. Sri Vaishnavas sing these stanzas every day of the year in the temple as well as in their homes. This practice assumes special significance during Margazhi: each day of this month gets its name from one of the thirty verses. Andal assumes the guise of a cowherd girl in these 30 verses, praying to be granted the service of the Lord for eternity. She yearns for everlasting happiness and service of the Lord. Here is my humble attempt at rendering these divine paasurams.
Meaning: We worship your feet which measured the world then, We worship your fame of winning over the king of Southern Lanka, We worship thine valour in breaking the ogre who came like a cart, We worship thy strength which threw the calf on the tree, We worship thine goodness in making the mountain as an umbrella , And we worship the great spear in your hand which led to your victory, We have come hear to sing always for ever your praises, And get as gift the drums to sing, and worship our Goddess Pavai.
