Meaning: (Courtesy: P R Ramachander)
This krithi is said to be a description of Goddess SitA’s reaction on seeing Lord Ram for the first time. {there is an alternative narrative suggesting that it is the other way, of Lord Ram seeing SiTA for the first time !}
P: Who (“yArO”) ? Who is he (“ivar yArO”) ? What is his name (“enna pErO”) ? , I do not know (“ariyEnE”).
A: All the people in the earth (“kArulAvum”) and heaven (“shIrulAvum”),
Stood before me in (“munnE ninravar”) the maid’s quarters (“kannimADam tannil”) in Mithila (“mithilaiyil”).
C3: With his Moon like (“candra bimba”) flower of a face (“mukha malarAlE”),
He is glancing at me (“pArkkirAr”) only (“ennai tAnE”), right?
Possibly it is due to our past connection (“orukkAlE
anda nALil tondam pOlE urugirAr”), that he is serving me & giving me darshan now (“inda nALil vandu sEvai tarugirAr”).

Context: Andal's thirty songs contain the cardinal principles of Vaishnava dharma during the month of Marghazhi. Vaishnavas sing these songs to bring peace, prosperity and Divine Grace. Andal assumes the guise of a cowherd girl in these 30 verses. Andal appears intent upon performing a particular religious vow to marry the Lord, thereby obtain His everlasting company, and inviting all her girl-friends to join her. Towards the end we learn that she did not actually perform a religious rite; but is simply praying to be granted the service of the Lord for eternity. She yearns for everlasting happiness and service of the Lord.
Translation By Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan
Approaching Him --the Lord Kesavan (of lovely curly locks of hairs) , the Lord Maadhavan ( the husband of Goddess Sri) who (enabled the gods) to churn the seas abounding in ships , and praying to Him , the Young charming damsels (of Gokulam ) with exquisite faces of Moon-like beauty and good ornaments , obtained the unparalleled drum.
Describing their observances , prayer and getting the drum (from the Lord) , GodhA , the foster-daughter of Bhattar PirAn adorned with the cool garlands of fresh lotuses , and a resident of beautiful SrivilliputthUr has composed this ThiruppAvai --sangat Tamizh maalai(Garland of Tamizh songs , sung in group by the devotees of the Lord ; or hailed as the lyric poem in Tamizh of the great Sangam poets and poetesses) consisting of thirty paasurams (equal to the number of Vowels and Consonants of the Tamizh alphabet).Whosoever recites this hymn --referring to the award of paRai , faithfully will get the divine bliss here and hereafter , through the benign grace of the Lord ThirumAl ( Sriya: Pathi) endowed with a supreme , divine form , namely four strong mountain-like shoulders, beautiful face with eyes of reddish hue along with other prosperous glory.
