ANDAL TANIYAN - 1

*Shri parAsara Bhattar's taniyan* 

नीळा तुङ्ग स्तनगिरि तटी सुप्तम् उध्भॊध्य क्रिष्णम्

पारार्थ्यम् स्वम् श्रुति शत शिरस् सिध्धम् अध्यापयन्ती ।

गॊदा तस्यै नम इदमिदम् भूय ऎवास्तु भूय: ॥

svOchchishTAyAm sraji nigaLitam yA balAtkRutya bhunktE

gOdA tasyai nama idamidam bhUya EvAstu bhUya: ||

May I offer my obeisance again and again to Goddess ANDAL called gOdA, who awakened Lord KrishNA resting on the bosoms of NEELA DEVI alias Nappinnai PirATTi who is the embodiment of gyAna and vairAgya. GOdA explained to Lord KrishNa about her dependence on the Parabrahman, as established in the vEdas and Upanishads; and how she attained Him after binding Him with flower wreaths that were first worn by her.  

ANDAL TANIYAN - 2

*Shri uyyakkoNDAr's taniyan*. 

அன்னவயல் புதுவை ஆண்டாள் அரங்கற்குப்   

பன்னு திருப்பாவைப் பல்பதியம்- இன்னிசையால்  

பாடிக் கொடுத்தாள் நற்பாமாலை  பூமாலை   

சூடிக் கொடுத்தாளைச் சொல்லு .

ANDAL, who hails from Puduvai (SrivilliputtUr), the land where swans wander, composed the tiruppAvai, a lovely poetic garland of many verses in sweet music in praise of Lord RanganAtha. Let us extol her who wore the flower garlands before they were offered to the Lord. 

சூடிக் கொடுத்த சுடர்க்கொடியே! தொல்பாவை, 

பாடி யருளவல்ல பல்வளையாய்,-நாடிநீ 

வேங்கடவற் கென்னை விதி என்ற இம்மாற்றம் 

நாங்கடவா வண்ணமே நல்கு.

Oh, the one who offered flower garlands to the Lord after wearing them yourself! You gave us tiruppAvai that explains the austerity observed by young maidens.  As You prayed with austerity to bind yourself with Lord VenkaTEshwara,  please lead us on the same path to reach You and EmperumAn.
