In this paasuram, Goda Devi sings the divine tales of Sri Krishna's birth and the enmity between him and the demon Kansa. She says that she and her companions find pleasure in singing his glorious acts, by listening to which even Goddess Lakshmi would become pleased.
She requests to bless them with the parai, so that they can keep singing on his glories forever.

Meaning of this Paasuram
You were born as the son of one mother during one night and grew up as the son of another mother.
Oh, Lord! We can't keep thinking about the ways you get involved in rewarding or punishing the acts of people.
You have been like a fire in the belly of Kansa due to his bad acts and due to the failure of all his efforts in killing you.
We have come to seek Parai (moksha) from you.
We will sing the glories of You and about the heroic deeds of You to please You and Nappinnai.
Please grant us moksha so that our sorrows and problems dissolve, and may we immerse ourselves in bliss.
Inner, in-depth meaning of this Thiruppavai Paasuram 25
God assumes various forms and gets involved in various deeds to protect His devotees and to punish those who create trouble in the lives of His people. We can't understand or question such wonderful deeds of God.
Even though we do not understand how He rewards the good acts or punishes the bad acts. We should simply submit ourselves to Him and seek the eternal bliss of moksha.
The essence of this paasuram is that the gopis seek permission to perform His worship in His human form and enjoy His company.
