Exploring the captivating eleventh pasuram, "Katru Karavai," from "Sreenidhi's Andal Tiruppavai - A Contemporary Classical Encore". This intricately woven pasuram signifies a graceful advancement within the continuum of the 30 pasurams, adding depth and resonance to the spiritual journey we are traversing.
Meaning of Katru Karavai,:
Oh, golden vine of the cowherd community, skilled milkmen with numerous young milch cows, flawless warriors triumphing over their enemies in open combat. Enchanting damsel with the allure of a peacock and hips resembling a snake's hood. Why do you remain in slumber while we, your kinswomen and friends, have entered your courtyard and are singing praises to the Lord, the hue of rainclouds? Why persist in this deep sleep, wealthy maiden? Awaken from your immobility and join us.
