Meaning of Thiruvempavai Muththanna Vennakaiyay

Oh one with pearl like charming smile! You would come getting up early and speak in the sweet words with the heart soaked in those words praising the God. Come and open your doors!  Oh the people with the ten great characters, the people committed to the oldest feet of the Lord, my friends!! I being new slave, is it wrong if you correct my bad behaviours and take me to the right path?!  Oh dear, don’t we know your love? Don’t the people of beautiful heart sing our Shiva? Come let us get those (good qualities).
