Thiruvasagam — Thiruvempavai of Manikkavacakar (Tamil, c. 9th century CE); 8th Tirumurai · Manikkavacakar · c. 9th century CE (Bhakti era)

Manikkavacakar was a learned minister of the Pandya king who, sent to buy horses, met Lord Shiva in the form of a guru at Thiruperunthurai and gave his whole heart and the king's gold to Him. Renouncing the world, he wandered the holy places of the Tamil land singing of Shiva, and at Thiruvannamalai (by tradition) composed the Thiruvempavai. Cast in the Margazhi Paavai form, its waking of the sleeping girls is the awakening of the soul to the Lord, and it remains among the most loved of all Saiva hymns.

✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି

It is said that the Thiruvasagam, of which the Thiruvempavai is part, is so charged with the saint's love that 'the heart that does not melt at the Thiruvasagam will melt at no other word'; even Lord Shiva, tradition holds, took the form of a scribe to write down Manikkavacakar's verses at Chidambaram.

ଅର୍ଥ:The Thiruvempavai is a hymn of twenty verses by the great Tamil Saiva saint Manikkavacakar, part of the Thiruvasagam (the eighth book of the Tirumurai). Set in the cool month of Margazhi, it takes the form of girls observing the Paavai vow, going at dawn to bathe and to wake one another with the praise of Lord Shiva — so that the waking becomes an image of the soul rousing itself to God.

It is a Tamil Saiva hymn of 20 verses by Saint Manikkavacakar, part of the Thiruvasagam (eighth Tirumurai), in praise of Lord Shiva. Set in the month of Margazhi, it takes the form of young women observing the Paavai vow who wake one another at dawn with the Lord's praise.

Manikkavacakar ('he whose words are rubies') was a great Tamil Saiva saint and one of the four foremost Saiva acharyas. A minister who renounced the world after Lord Shiva appeared to him as a guru at Thiruperunthurai, he composed the Thiruvasagam and the Thirukkovaiyar, treasures of Tamil devotion.

Both are Margazhi hymns built on the Paavai (girls' dawn-vow) theme and both end each verse with 'Elor Embavay'. Andal's Tiruppavai is to Lord Vishnu-Krishna, while Manikkavacakar's Thiruvempavai is to Lord Shiva; together they are sung through the sacred month of Margazhi.

It is a girl waking her still-sleeping friend: even as they sing 'the rare great Light that has no beginning and no end' (Lord Shiva), how can she sleep? For the soul that truly hears His praise sobs, forgets the body, and rises overwhelmed with love — so the verse asks, in wonder, whether this melting devotion is her friend's true nature.
