Paasuram #25 is a timely reminder about how Bhagwan Krishna grew up in a foster home, his maternal uncle tried to get him killed several times and despite all the difficulties he faced, he always helped his devotees as soon as they called out to him.
As always do read Thirupaavai Paasuram #24 before reading Paasuram #25.

English Translation
Krishna grew up in a foster home ! He birth mother is Devaki but he was brought up by Yashoda. Paasuram #25 speaks about Bhagwan Krishna’s birth at midnight and how his father Vasudev crossed River Yamuna in spate and took baby Krishna to his friend Nanda’s house in Gokul. Yashoda and Nandlala were Krishna’s foster parents and witness to all his miracles as a child. Andal says just as you killed your evil uncle Kansa and released your birth parents, help us overcome all our difficulties by giving darshan to us.
What Krishna went through even as the most complete avatar of Mahavishnu is not for the faint hearted. The common thread that weaves through his life is about how he comes to the rescue of his devotees. All you have to do is call out to HIM in total surrender and He will respond. Also every action of his tells us that he can liberate us from this cycle of life and death. All we need to do is surrender to him.

Note
The 30 paasurams known as Thirupaavai are written by Andal and are a part of the Naalayira Divyaprabhandams (4000 verses singing the praises of Bhagwan Vishnu). For Iyengars, it’s a lifelong mission to memorise the Naalayira Divyaprabhandams and understand their meaning. These songs are written by the 12 Azhwars (saints is the closest translation possible) of whom Andal is the only female.
