Meaning of Thiruppavai Fifth Pasuram

 (All of our sins vanish like a blade of grass thrown into fire, when we sing in praise of KrishNan and worship Him). Him–the mysterious Lord; the young courageous Lord born at north MathurA, the One who sports in the pure waters of the great river, YamunA; the emerald-like shining Lamp that has risen from the race of cowherds; and the Lord DaamOdharA (the One bound by the rope around the waist) who has brought high esteem to His mother YasOdhA (literally, who illumined the mother’s womb)–Him let us approach with sincerity (purity– physical and mental); let us worship Him with fresh and fragrant flowers; let us pay our obeisance to Him; let us sing in praise of Him, by words of mouth; let us think of Him in our mind; if we do so (approaching, worshipping, obeying, singing and thinking of Him alone), our sins of past, present and future will vanish like straw put into fire.
