Meaning of Thiruppavai Twenty one Pasuram

(In the strain of a true heroine’s singing the praise of her hero , the young girls give expression to their humble prayer): ” Oh Lord , Kindly get up; You are the son of Lord NandhagOpan , who is the owner of innumerable , generous and big cows that pour forth , incessantly , copious milk into the vessels , kept (below their udder) in quick succession , so that in a trice , these vessels are filled up (and) are overflowing .Oh Lord , who is very much attached to us ! Oh Supreme One! The effulgent streak of light arisen in this World! Be pleased to rise up. Just as your enemies come to You, in front of Your house, even so we have come to You singing Your praise and proclaiming Your greatness.
