Tuesday 6th January 2026 (22nd Verse)
Anganmagyalath arasar abhimana
Like the kings of the wide world, out of respect for you
Bangamay vandhu nin palllikattir keezhe
Come politely and stand beside your bed
Sangamirippar pol vandhu thalaippeydhom
Similarly we are here today standing ;
Kinnkini vaych cheydha thamaraip poo pole
Like the slowly opening petals of the lotus flower
Chengann chiri chiridhe em mel vizhiyavo
Will you gently open ever so slowly your red eyes on us
Thingalum adithiyanum ezhundhar pol
As though both the sun and the moon have risen up together
Angann irandunkondu engal mel nokkudiyel
Please cast a loving glance with both your eyes on us
Engal mel saapam izhindhelor empavai.
All our sins and misfortunes will be removed, my girls
Having woken up Nappinnai and persuaded her to help them and join in the worship in the previous verse, the girls now proceed to wake up the Lord and sing His Praise. As the first step to waking up the girls beseech the Lord to gently open His eyes. Oh Lord, the Kings of many lands shed their arrogance, and gather at your threshold to pay their respects to you, likewise we too have gathered before you, to wake you up gently, like the beautiful red lotus flower blossoming, will you so ever gently open your eyes and look at us ? When you open both your bright eyes, it looks as if the Sun and the Moon are shining at the same time, but if you look at us with both your eyes, we will be absolved of all our sins and sorrow and be filled abundantly with your grace.
