Meaning in English

Let us sing the name of Uththaman,
the Supreme Lord who measured all worlds.
When we perform our Paavai vow and bathe in purity,
there will be abundant prosperity in the land —

The skies will pour gentle rain three times a month,
the tall crops will grow rich and strong,
the ponds will be filled with fish and blooming lotuses,
and the generous cows will yield milk in plenty.

Thus, endless wealth and joy will fill the world —
O Paavai, let us rejoice together!
