MEANING:
The birds are up and chirping and did you (Aandal's female companions) not hear the sound from the great white conch emanating from the temple where the Lord of the king of birds (Garuda) resides? Oh girl, please wake up and worship the Lord who drank milk from the poisoned breast (of Putana, a female demon), who killed the demon (Sakatasura) who came in the form of a cart wheel, who rests on the snake in the milky ocean and who is the seed of the universe, who is worshipped at heart by the ascetics and yogis - whose resounding chants of Hari enter our hearts giving bliss
