According to this doctrine, the Lord and Sri Devi are inseparable and they serve together as UpAyam (means) and UpEyam (Ultimate goal). This fundamental doctrine is known as “Yeka Seshithvam”. With this in mind, ANDAL wakes up Goddess Nappinnai, the consort of the Lord now and appeals to Her. LITERAL MEANING OF THE PAASURAM Oh daughter-in-law of King NandagOpA, who has the proud gait of elephants and who is known for His valiant shoulders with invincible strength (that he would never leave a battle field without victory). Oh Nappinnai with enchanting fragrant black tresses! Kindly unlock Your door. Hearken, the cocks have awakened now everywhere and are making loud noises. Hearken, even the group of cuckoos, sitting on the bower of Maadhavi (Kurukkatthi) flowers, have cooed gently many times. Oh Young Lady holding the sporting ball with Your fingers as BhOgOpakaraNam! As we wish to sing about Your Lord's names, please come with joy and open the door with Your red lotus-like soft hands, which create a pleasant sound (sunAdham) from the movement of Your bracelets adorning Your forearms
