Meaning of the Prayer Mantra:


 Oh drops of elixir! You are sweet!
For making the clouds that come along with wind,
be seated in your apt place (in the Yagya)!


 Notes: 


1. indu - drop; pavasva - take place; madhumattama - sweet; Asadam - seated.

2. The offering put in the Yagya creates the rain.
When the Yagyas are performed well, there would be good rain and prosperity.
This mantra addresses that.

c.f. மிக்க திறன் மறையவரால் விளங்கு வேள்வி
    மிகு புகை போய் விளையக் கழனி எல்லாம்
கொக்கினிய கனி சிதறித் தேறல் பாயும்
    குடந்தைக் கீழ்க்கோட்டத்து எம் கூத்தனாரே 
- அப்பர்
