Wednesday 24th December 2025 ( 9th Verse) (Section II – 4 of 10)
(Awakening and inviting girl 4 to join the Special Worship -Nonbu)
Thoomani Madathuch chutrum vilakkeriya
In a stately well appointed bedroom lit by lamps
Dhoopam kamazha thuyilanai mel kann kavarum
on a bed, fragrant from the burning incense, you sleep
Maaman magale manikkadavam thall thiravaay
Oh Uncle’s daughter, please open the door with the bells
Mameer avalai ezhuppeero ? un magal than
Oh, Mother of the girl, can you please wake her up ?
Oomaiyo ! andri sevido ! anandhalo !
Is she dumb or deaf or just slovenly
Emapperunthuyil mandirappattalo
Is she in slumber because of some magic spell ?
Mamayan madhavan viakuntan endrendru
by many sacred names like madhavan and vaikuntan
Naamam palavum navindrelor empavai
Let us call unto Him, my dear girl !
A nice bed, comfortable and a conducive environment make for good deep sleep. In this verse Sri Andal and her friends struggle to wake up a girl (a relative – her Uncle’s daughter) who is sleeping in a nice bed, with nice lights and scented aromas so soundly that they suspect she has become deaf, not hearing anything, dumb not responding to their calls and so overcome by sloth so as not to wake up and come to open the ornate door. The girls plead to the mother of the girl to wake her up to which she responds, sing the many many names of the Lord as Maamayan, Madhavan and Vaikunthanan and being a pious and God loving girl, she will wake up on hearing the Lord’s names being chanted.
