Summary in short:

In this pasuram A:nda:l says - Those who enjoy living on this Earth! Listen to

the things we do in our Vratham! Let us sing the glories of the Lotus feet of

Parama:thma Lord Srimanna:ra:yana (supreme God) who is taking rest in the milky

ocean. During this Vratham, We take shower in the early morning. We don’t take

any food preparations made of milk and Ghee. We shall not line our eyes with

collyrium (a black paste, Ka:tuka), nor do we adorn our hair with garlands /

flowers. We shall never do the things that were not accepted by our elders, nor

do we go to others to carry tales and speak badly about anybody or anything. We

shall practice to generously do charity to the extent possible and give alms in

full measure to the saints and Sanyasis. Listen to the things we need to do,

let’s rejoice! Thinking the ultimate path! This is our vratham, let us follow!

 

Inner meaning of few words in pasuram:

1. Thiruvadi (feet) of the supreme God is Acharya (we should know everything

about our great Acharyas & memorize them sharing with others)

 

2 In spiritual language ghee is devotion that a soul should posses to attain

ultimate bliss of God (Ghee is taken out of milk) but go:da de:vi says that We

are not going to accept any means by ourselves to attain except god by himself.

 

3. We should do charity as a hand of God leaving ego (since we didn’t bring

anything with us as we enter into this world & can’t carry something with us

while leaving too), (except the results of our action & mind behind every

action)

 

Etc...
