Thirupavai --26

Maale manni vanna! marghazhi neeraduvaan
melaiyaar seivanagal venduvana keitiyel
gyalathai yellam nadunga muralvan
paalena vannathu un pancha sanniyum
polvanna sangangal poyapai udaiyavane
salapa perumporai ye pallandu isaipare
kola villake kodiye vidhaname
aalin ilaaiyay ! arule lorembavai!

meaning.

Narayana! Turquoise blue hued one!
we are keeping this penance of bathing early in the cold winter months of marghazhi as was ordained by our anscestors as the means to seek boons from you ,

one who shrunk entire universe within oneself  at the time of great deluge so as to recline on the small banyan leaf , listen and grant us the following to enable us to adhere to this penanace ,
shells to blow ,that resemble your  swan like milky white conch- pancha ganya ,whose sound makes the entire world tremble , huge drums, sri vaishnavaite hymns singing groups, auspicious lamps and flag staffs.
