Context: Andal's thirty songs contain the cardinal principles
of Vaishnava dharma during the month of Marghazhi. Vaishnavas
sing these songs to bring peace, prosperity and Divine
Grace. Andal assumes the guise of a cowherd girl in these 30 verses. Andal appears
intent upon performing a particular religious vow to marry the Lord, thereby
obtain His everlasting company, and inviting all her girl-friends
to join her. Towards the end we learn that she did not actually perform a religious
rite; but is simply praying to be granted the service of the Lord for eternity.
She yearns for everlasting happiness and service of the Lord.
Translation By Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan
(The Young girls pray to
the Lord in the strain of defeated kings surrendering to the emperor
, who is the Supreme Soverign) Oh Lord ! We have come to You just as the kings of the vast
beautiful Earth , who stay contented in large groups at the foot of Your cot (
throne) after renouncing their haughtiness and
self-esteem. Oh Lord! Will You not look at us, with Your gentle and exquisite eyes ,
resembling the half-blossomed lotus similar
to a small kinkiNi
( jewel-like little bells) opening little by little (gradually)? If You
direct Your glance at us, with Your pair of beautiful eyes that resemble the
rising Sun and the Moon, we will be freed from the curse of sins (past , present and future).
