Kodhai Pirandha Oor - Andal vaazhi thirunaaman

The exceptional qualities of Sri Andal cannot be adequately described. Recognizing her as the incarnation of Bhoomi Piratti gives a glimpse of her greatness. Similar to Sita Piratti, Andal's birth defied the conventional gestation period, highlighting her divine eminence.

 Notably, while deities like Rama and Krishna undergo the process of garbha vAsam, Andal, as the Universal Mother, is born without it, perhaps due to the lack of a suitable mother. Andal's achievements are unparalleled. She is the lone female among the Azhwars, privileged to unite with the Lord. 

Unlike others, she authentically portrays the emotions of separation and reunion with Krishna. Her audacious act of using garlands meant for the Lord sets her apart. Additionally, she fearlessly criticizes Krishna, a feat unmatched by other Azhwars.

Her Tiruppavai is esteemed as the very essence of Vedas, a distinction not shared by other works. Sri Ramanuja's admiration for Tiruppavai is evident from his title "Tiruppavai Jeer"

Vaazhi tirunaamams are songs that glorify the divine life and spiritual contribution of Azhwars.

One of the vaazhi thirunaamams of  Sri Andal, composed by Sri Vedapiraan Bhattar, is as follows:

Kodhai Pirantha Oor Govindan Vazhumoor

Sodhi Manimaadam Thondrum Oor

Needhiyal Nalla Paththar Vaazhum Oor

Naanmaraikal Odhum Oor

Villiputhur VedakKonnur

Padhagangal Theerkkum 

Paraman Adi Kaattum

Vedam Anaithukkum

Viththakum Kodhai Tamizh

Vaiyyam Sumappathu Vambu

Meaning:

Kodhai pirandha oor - Oor in which Sri Andal was born

Aiyaindhum aindhum  - 5 of 5 and 5 (25 +5) = 30 paasurams of Andal's thiruppaavai

ariyaada maanidarai vaiyam sumappadu vambu – those who don't know those 30 paasurams are a burden to this world.
