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.
You were born as the son of one lady; and on one night, you become the son of another lady in hiding. Kamsa was unable to withstand you; you frustrated all his plans to harm you. You made useless his very intents. Like a tall fire you stand, O Lord. We have come begging to you to see if you will give us emancipation. To match goddess Lakshmi’s beauty and service, we sing to you. Please rid us of our sorrows and give us joy. With this sentiment, come lets do the paavai nombu penance, o girls!
