Meaning of Thiruppavai Tenth Pasuram

“Oh Dear girl, who is very much confident of practising nonbhu (KanyA vratham)and entering heaven (Svargam)!  Is it your custom not to open the doors and not even respond to our calls? (Without getting any reply from her, the Gopis assembled outside her door try to make  her listen to their talk as follows):  If we sing in praise of Lord NarAyaNA (viz.,KrishNA, contextually) adorning the fragrant  TuLasi garland on His head , He will surely bless us with the drum for our Vratham. (So, you also wake up and come with us). Is it that KumbhakarNan–who was ,  in days of yore , made to leap to his death by Lord RamachandrA , the embodiment of Dharamam–has ceded his long spell of sleep to you after he was defeated  (by you in a sleeping contest)? O Girl overpowered by heavy dose of  (spellbound by) sleep! You are however the precious jewel of our group .Hence, Kindly (get up) and come to the door with clear mind and open it.”
