Vaa Vaa Valarmathi Lyrics

What is the meaning of Vaa Vaa Valarmathi lyrics?

This song is a devotional ode, likely addressed to a goddess of arts and knowledge, personified as 'Valarmathi' (waxing moon) and 'Kalai Nidhi' (treasure of arts). The lyrics beautifully intertwine the names of the five great Tamil epics—Jeevaka Chintamani, Kundalakesi, Manimekalai, Valayapathi, and Silappathikaram—as adornments on the deity's body, symbolizing her embodiment of literary and artistic excellence. The singer expresses profound reverence, acknowledging the deity as the source of joy, the charioteer of arts, and a living flame that dispels worries. The song continues to praise the deity as the 'Bharathi' (Goddess Saraswati, or a muse) who brings happiness and a 'ripened heart' alongside legendary poets like Kamban and Kavi Kaalamegam. The lyrics describe her as an inexhaustible source of joy and wealth, a queen revered by the heavens. The repeated plea 'Va Va Va' (Come, Come, Come) is a heartfelt invocation for her presence, blessings, and grace, emphasizing a deep spiritual yearning for artistic inspiration and divine benevolence.
