O Lord, who goes in front

to help the thirtythree crores of devas, awake. You who is pure and perfect , with Lakshmi and burn your foes, get up. Nappinnai

of slender and beautiful form , the incarnation of Lakshmi, awake. Give the fan and the mirror necessary for

our vratha and unite us with the Lord and enable us

to take the holy bath.

as He is described by NammAZvar. He goes in front and

protects them.

removes their fear, kappam meaning kampam or shaking with fright.

 

kaliyE-glorious.

 

cheppam - Arjavam, thrikaraNaSuddhi, truthful in thought word and deed. and thiral is strength or

power.

 

chettrAr-

there are no enemies for the Lord as he says 'samoham

sarva bhoothEshu,

I am impartial to all. The term refers to those who harm the good.

 

Cheppenna ----sirumarungul- denotes the young age of Nappinnai

 

ThiruvE- The

divine mother is even higher than the Lord Himself. She is full of mercy and

forgiveness. As Sita, she says to Anjaneya,

'SubhAnAm vA vaDHArhANA plavangaama kAryam karuNamAryENa na kaschith nAparAdhyathi.'

Whether they are sinners or good people , even

if they deserve to be killed a noble person should show mercy. Who is

without fault? That is why she is first awakened even before the Lord.

 

The words ukkam and

thattoLi

mean the removal of ahamkara

and mamakara and granting of svarupa jnana.The grace

of the divine mother is required to fan away the ego, the cause of ahamkara and mamakara and to

mirror the real nature of the self.
