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.
(Courtesy:Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan): (All of our sins vanish like a blade of grass thrown into fire , when we sing in praise of KrishNan
and worship Him ). Him--the mysterious Lord ; the young courageous Lord born at north MathurA , the One who sports in the pure
waters of the great river , YamunA ; the emerald-like shining Lamp that has risen from the race of cowherds; and the Lord
DaamOdharA (the One
bound by the rope around the waist) who has brought high esteem to His mother YasOdhA (literally, who illumined the mother's
womb)--Him let us approach with sincerity (purity--physical and mental); let us worship Him with fresh and fragrant flowers; let us
pay our obesiance to Him; let us sing in praise of Him , by words of mouth; let us think of Him in our mind; if we do so approaching
worshipping , obeying, singing and thinking of Him alone), our sins of past , present and future will vanish like straw put into fire.
Therefore let us sing His glory. )
