Pasuram 3 - Tiruppavai

Pasuram 3

We chant the sacred name of the Supreme Person, Trivikrama, (who, on receiving the gift from Emperor Bali, grew in stature upto the sky and measured the three worlds with his feet) and take our bath under the plea of the ritual, may the world be refreshed with three good showers a month and be free from all physical ills and feel happy! While the paddy plants shoot up to the sky and fish leap about in the waters of the corn-fields, and the charming bees slumber in lotus flowers, may the land smile with rich harvests! May the cattle sheds abound with cows whose udders, on a mere touch of the steady milkman, release potful of milk! May the whole land be filled with prosperity that never wanes nor comes to an end! May the whole land ever flow with milk and honey!
