Everything ends well. If you are patient, that is. Andal finally unites with the Lord. Just like that, you & I will eventually find the answers to our prayers.
Naachiyaar Thirumozhi – The Final set of Ten
637. (Andal asks) Have you seen the younger brother of Baladeva – Kanna straying here and there like a dark colored bull? (Her friend replies) We saw a cowherd frolicking in the water with his herd of cows & calves in Brindavan.
638. (Andal asks) Have you seen the Lord who attracts all, smells always of stolen butter and who lifts the Govardhana mountain to protect his herd of cows & calves?

640. (Andal asks) Have you seen the Lord whose eyes are like the lotus buds cooled from the chill waters of the dark rain bearing clouds and who has drawn me to him in love? (Her friend replies) We have seen the Lord who looks like an elephant cub on which sweat drops glisten like pearls in an oyster, in Brindavan.
641. (Andal asks) Have you seen the Lord who looks like a boar that has escaped from the forest which defends itself ferociously? (Her friend replies) We have seen the Lord who looks like a decorated temple elephant that strolls through the streets in Brindavan.
642. (Andal asks) Have you seen the Lord who plays the mischief without knowing anything about mercy and who doesn’t deserve those beautiful eye-brows shaped like the Saranga bow?

643. (Andal asks) Have you seen the dark colored Lord whose body is as black as his mind, who is peerless in making his dear ones suffer and who completely disappoints me? (Her friend replies) We have seen the Lord and his friends, who look like a constellation of stars, in Brindavan.
644. (Andal asks) Have you seen the Lord who holds the white conch, who wears the yellow colored garment, who holds the discus and who is Tirumaal himself?

646. Periyalwar’s daughter Godhai (Andal) has composed these verses on the Lord of Brindavan who rescued Gajendra. Those who recite these verses will never part from the feet of the Lord.
Thus concludes – Andal’s Naachiyaar Thirumozhi (the divine words of Andal, the wife of the Lord). Will you join me in going through the verses of Kulasekara Alwar’s Perumal Thirumozhi (the divine words of the Lord) next? 🙂
