Short Meaning –
At first, A:nda:l praises the holy time. Ma:rgali is the sacred month. This is a month that develops Sa:ththvik nature in all living beings. This month corresponds to the serene early (like hours just before day break) period, for the whole year. Good days have come that can yield the best happiness of our life. Whoever wishes to take a Divine shower …. O wealthy little girls, having wealth of rich Love towards Lord Krishna, come on., let us go. Lord Krishna is highly obedient to his father. He is protected by the Nandagopa, His father, who bears a fierce spear in his hands to protect his son. Young lad Sri Krishna, seems like a young lion, being brought up by ‘ Yasoda ‘ who has exquisitely beautiful eyes, filled with the Love towards Krishna. He who has deep skin, reddish eyes, who is cool like moon towards his devotees and hot like blazing Sun towards who hate him, is Lord Na:ra:yana himself, who will bless us with a small drum like instrument, don’t delay, come and join this vratham.

Jai Srimannarayana !
