Explanation:
According to annamAchArya and Vedanta dESika, Goddess Andal
is Goddess Lakshmi Herself. This can be seen in Sri annamAchArya’s song on Goda
Devi “chooDaramma sathulAla SobAna pADaramma” where He says She is Sri
Mahalakshmi, mother of Manmatha, mother of the universe, sister of moon (when
She incarnated in the milky ocean) and so on.
Sri Vedanta Desika says in his famous Goda Stuti first Sloka
“sAkshAt kshamAm karuNayA kamalAm ivAnyAm”
which means “You are Goddess Bhudevi, the very embodiment of His
forbearance. You are Goddess kamala or Lakshmi in Your mercy”.
On Tirumala, Goddess Lakshmi is known as alarmEl mangai or
the Lady sitting on the lotus flower.
We have the golden icon of Goddess Lakshmi on God’s chest
which is taken out during His sacred bath or Thirumanjanam on Fridays. During
this period, Andal’s “nAcchiyAr thirumozhi” is chanted which was written by
AndAL expressing Her desire to reunite with the Lord and at the same time
providing assurance to the human-beings that the Supreme Being is there to take
care of them.
The above song is written by Sri AnnamAchArya taking cue
from nAcchiyAr Thirumozhi. Here he is addressing a fellow devotee explaining
the longing of Andal to unite with Him and subsequent union as She sits with
Him for marriage.
In Pandya kingdom, the nAyikA or heroine used to hold a
parrot. Examples are Goddess Andal in Vaishnavism and Goddess Meenakshi in
Saivism. In this song, the heroine alarmEl mangai holds a parrot and thus
denotes Andal. It is worth noting that the Goddess on Lord’s chest (for quite
sometime there have been two Goddesses on His chest) is decorated with a parrot
during mArgazhi month when Andal’s ThiruppAvai is recited.
Below is the meaning of the same in English.
Pallavi:
She is frustrated out of her pangs of separation so far. She
has vowed so many offerings to Him (mokkulu). See here, here is your Lord!
Charanam 1:
Sweat is flowing on her cheeks and she is blushing. The
flowers are sliding and heaping up on her back. The lady on the lotus, Goddess
Lakshmi (Andal) is holding her pet parrot in her hand and has sat on the
wedding seat. Look at with affection, here is Your Lord!
Charanam 2:
With expressions on her face and sighs from her nose, and
with her breasts tightened, she is sitting next to Him holding a lotus. What to
say, here is your Lord!
Charanam 3:
Thrilled with joy as she is eager to unite with Him, with
Her red sweet nectarine lips, Oh Youthful Venkatesa! She joins you on Your
divine bed. My dear friend, see here,
here is your Lord!
Note on charaNam 3: Lord reclining on the divine
serpent bed symbolizes Jagad rakshaNa chintanam or His devising ways to protect
the worlds. The Goddess is, in reality,
inseparable from Him and resides in His heart.
See below for an audio visual by Smt. Jayanthi Sridharan. This audio visual has the nAcchiyAr thirumozhi second Thaniyan where the Goddess is addressed as the parrot herself, and verse 12.9 from nAcchiyAr thirumozhi where she refers to a parrot that repeats the name "gOvindA".
