(Here, the young gOpis request the granting of drum, lamp, flag, canopy et al).

Oh the embodiment of pure disinterested love! Oh Lord of wonderful colour of the blue sapphire gem!

May You listen to us who perform the "bathing during Maargazhi, an observance the great ancient people followed and

who are in the need of following SIX things (for the vratham):

(a) superior conches similar to Your great Paanchajanyam, which have the white hue of milk and which through their tumultuous sound shakes all the worlds

(b) giant size drums/bhEris

(d)decorative lamps

(e) dhvajam-banner& flags and

(f) a big canopy.

Oh Lord Maayavi the One who just reposed as a baby on a banyan leaf (Vatapathra-saayin) in the waters at the time of PraLayam!

Kindly bless us with these six vrathOpakaraNams through Your limitless grace.

The exultation of the Gopis is expressed by them, when the Lord listens to their appeal and fulfills their desires).

Oh Lord GovindhA! You have the benign supremacy of winning over Your opponents. We shall get the drum (paRai) from You,

the sakthi to sing eulogies about You. Thus, we get the reward of great eclat (brilliant display of our devotion )and glory of all the worlds

. We will adorn ourselves with many ornaments: bracelets, shoulder ornaments, ear-studs and rings, ornaments in the form of flowers (at the vertex of the ear), anklets et al.

We will wear new clothes (as You give us Your divine company). (getting Your personal contact) we will be very joyous, eat food prepared using milk with sumptuous (priceless)ghee --

(a) that envelops it,

(b) that is flowing so much as to spill over (through one's forearm) up to our elbows, when one eats a morsel of food (ksheerannam)

. (Through the contact with You) We shall ever be united and thus become cool in heart and stay joyous.

In the previous Paasuram (KoodArai Vellum Paasuram), the Gopis declared, "Unnai arutthithu VanthOm and requested the blessings of "Paal, sORu, AbharaNams, Aadai et al.

That to Lord KrishNa looked like the Gopis were seeking from Him, the worldly pleasures

He was amused and Our Lord turned around and asked them: "Oh Gopis! Your mind seems not to be steady. Are you desiring the perishable pleasures or some thing higher than that from me?

. The Gopis recognized the situation and responded: Oh Lord, we might have given You the impression that we are seeking sanmAnam that is commonly asked of You in a worldly way. Our true and inner wish is to have You and perform deeds to be done to You always.

Then the pleased Lord revealed to them His Isvaryam (MahA VibhUthis) and the Gopis were overwhelmed and sought His pardon (aparAdha KshAmanam) for taking liberties with Him and forgetting His SarvEsvarathvam.

They say: "Oh Lord of the Universe! You are Self- complete (Svatha: PoorNan).

We might have appeared to have offended You due to our Overwhelming sense of affection (Pranayam) or attachment (abhimanam).

For You. You are the most generous (parama Oudharyan). You are the most compassionate (parama Dayalu)

. We are simple folks, who do not know the difference between our right hand and left hand.

We do not have the Jn~Anam, Bhakthi, anushtanam, Aacharam, Vidvath balam to seek You innately as Siddhopayam in the saasthra-ordained manner

. We do not have therefore the seven requisites (states of mind) needed to approach You (the Sarveveswara) as a Saranagati.

Oh Lord GovindhA! May You listen to us (the cowherd girls) who approach You at the very small hours of the day-dawn, and

who bow down to You, the purpose and aim of our singing in praise of Your golden, lotus-like pair of feet.

You, who took birth in the race of us, -- the cowherds, earning our livelihood by grazing and rearing the herd of cattle, can not deny us the humble (divine) service (to be rendered unto You).

, Oh Lord! it is not only that we desire to receive the drum (from You) today (lit. in this sojourn of birth), but we desire,

in fact, that let us be ever --throughout the births, sevens of generations -the kith and kin of You,

let us perform all kinds of deeds required to You alone; You make us rid of other desires!
