The Goda’s poem Tiruppavai has an in-built scheme of vratha (the mission) with three parts.
Nature shining in moonlight of Margazhi month Come dear friends let us bathe before the Sunrise Team of enriched and enlightened devotees of our rich village Where the Nanda wields protective spear for his son Lotus eyed young cub of mother Yashoda His resplendent face with eyes shining like Sun and Moon Aiming to reach ultimate Lord Narayana Let us commission the mission together Together about the mahimai of our Lord with you.Margazhi thingalmadhiniraindhanannalal Niradapodhuvir, podhuminoneridaiyeer Seermalgumaayppadichchelvachirumeergal Koorvelkodunthozhilannandagopankumaran Erarndhakannniyasodhaiilansingam Karmenichengannkadirmadiyam pol mugathan Narayananenamakkeparaitharuvan Parorpugazha p padinthelor empavai. In your neighbor's houses during this still hour of the morning? Oh crown gem among gopis ! How can you be so indifferent and sleep away even after hearing us singing the nAmams of our Lord Kesavan, who destroyed the demon Kesi appearing in disguiseĪs a horse ? Please awaken and get up ! Oh Luminous one! Come and open the door so that we could sing Do n't you hear that auspicious jingling sound ? Are n't you awakened yet by the sloshing of the curd as a result of the strong movement of the churning rod Their engagement in the churning act makes their bangles and other aabharaNams around their neck (acchu thali, Aamai thaliĮt al) collide against each other and result in a rhythmic musical sound (mangala naadham ). The body movement(exertions) of these beautiful gopis sends out fragrances from their flower-adorned locks of well combed hair. Do n't you hear the sound made by the busy churning of the curd by the other gopis with symmetric movement of their churning rods ? There are signs of the world awakening all around you. Oh pey penne (deluded girl)! do n't you hear the noise raised by the Aanai Saatthan birds ( Bharadhvaja Birds in Sanskrit and Valiyans in Tamizh)? Does n't your sleep get affected by the Keesu-Keesu sabdham (avyaktha madhura sallabham ) of these busy birds outside your sleeping chambers? The dawn is advancing.
