Meaning: (Adapted from https://periscope-narada.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-padam-by-kavi-kunjara-barati-ivan-yaro.html )

This is one of the 37 songs from the azhagar kuRavanji. This song depicts Princess Mohanavalli and Lord Vishnu.

It is a padam, “a rhapsody for revelry in music and dance recitals”, and a product of ca. 18th century. The rulers in South India encouraged its growth. Padams in general are light, lively, and pleasing. They are usually love songs elaborating an emotion associated with a visit of the nayaka (hero) with nayaki (heroine) or the absence of it and the resulting despair. In this particular padam, the nayaki is asking her friend about the identity of the nayaka that seems to appear in front of her.

The heroine (of the musical daru :"azhagar Kuravanchi" , Princess Mohanavalli ) here is in love with Lord Vishnu. She watches the procession of the Lord azhagar. She is always thinking about Him while awake as well as when asleep. When she is awake and in the company of her female friend, her Lord seems to appear in front of her. She could not believe it. Hence she is asking her friend about the identity of the image that appears to her. She sees the Lord wearing sparkling jewels and riding a chariot. She also recognizes a lady at his foot (a likely reference to bhudEvi), known as nilamagaL in Thamizh), another by his side (identified as nILA devi, known as nappinnai in Thamizh VaishNavite liturgy), and one (sridEvi, also known as alaimagaL or Lakshmi) in his chest which is adorned with a holy tuLasi garland. She thanks her good fortune and revels in seeing Him.
