Pasuram 15 : Elle IlamkiliyeRagam : BegadaSinger : Madhu IyerVenue : Brahma Vidya MandirThe fifteenth pasuram is like a dialogue between a clever gopika, & Andal, who persuades her to let go of her lassitude & join the devotees. This song was composed in chaste Tamil over 1200 years ago by the only female Vaishnavite saint Kodhai Alwar, or Andal as she is popularly known. The pasuram is a part of the Thiruppavai, a set of thirty songs sung in Margazhi (mid-December to mid-January).Meaning of the pasuramOh, beautiful young bird !We are at your door, are you still asleep?Don't be harsh, my young friends!
