Oh you the girl who has broad, bright eyes,Ģ Pasam param jothikenbai eraa pagal Naam

Each verse translated is preceded by the first few words of the Thiruvempavai verse to help in easy identification. The Tamil used was the ancient Tamil and though many words used during those times are common even today, the meanings of these are not that obvious. The fact that during the coronation of the Kings of Thailand these are sung shows the importance people of those times attached to this song. These songs are sung by them during the festival on 10 days preceding the Thiruadhirai Nolumbu. The maids all wake up early, wake each other up and with song and dance go to the ponds and streams for bathing and then worship Pavai (woman goddess) and request her to bless them with suitable husbands. This is a penance observed by unmarried girls of those times to get good husbands. Thiruvempavai is a part of Thiruvasagam and was composed in the temple town of Thiruvannamalai during the month of Margazhi(December-january) when the temple town was celebrating the Pavai Nolumbu. Among those 63 sages, four Natyanmars were the most important and they were Appar, Thirugnana Sambandar, Thirunavukkarsar and Manika Vasagar.All of them were great poets and traveled through out Tamil Nadu visiting the shiva temples and composing poems on the deities in each Temple.The work of Manika Vasagar who was a Kshatriya by caste is called as Thiru vasagam (Holy script).”Thiru Vasagathukku urugar Evvasagathukkum Urugar” meaning,” those who do not melt for Thiruvasagam will never melt for any other book”, is a famous Tamil Saying of those times. History records the story of 63 Nayanmars and their story is chronicled in a book called “Periya puranam(Big epic)” written by Chekizhar who was an eminent poet of those times. The sentinels(sages) of Bhakthi movement worshipping Lord Shiva were called Nayanmars and those worshipping Lord Vishnu were called Azhwars. The ancient Tamil Nadu saw two important Bhakthi movements, which most probably preceded the philosophical movements of Adi Sankara and Saint Ramanuja.
