Andal, The Mystic Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Andal is on literature, music and dance.
Andal is on drama, cinema and Margali.
Andal to Vishnu as Meera to Krishna;
Andal belongs to eighth century though.

Her unique hairdo is Andal Kondai.
Her massive garland is Andal maalai.
The parrot in her hand is Andal parrot.
Srivilliputtur is known for Andal.

Vaijayanthimala gave her a shape.
Ariyakkudi gave her verses a tune.
Vasanthakumari lent her a voice.
Andal is the pride of vaishnavites.

Parents unknown, Srivalli is revered.
Parents unknown, Sita is revered.
Parents unknown, Andal is revered.
They were made to be incarnations.
