Meaning of Thiruppavai Twenty third Pasuram

In the words of the Young girls , ANDAL describes how the Lord should majestically come out of His chamber).Just as the majestic lion ( Seeriya Singam) crouching in sleep inside the mountain-cave during the rainy season , on becoming awake , opens its fire-emititng eyes ,(looks all around as the King of beasts) , sizes vigorously the locks of hairs of its fragrant manes standing erect , shakes itself up , gets up majestically ,comes out of the cave with a loud roar (simha Naatham) ,even so ,May You , the Lord of enchanting bluish hue of KaayAmpoo flower , emerge from Your holy shrine (aasthAnam)and come out this way–blessing us by the darsana-soubhAgyam of Your gait –and be seated on the perfectly suited and well-deserving throne ; and then, May You kindly look into the aim and purpose of our coming here (and awakening You).
