Nachiyar Tirumoli (original) (raw)

Nachiyar Tirumoli (Tamil: நாச்சியார் திருமொழி; transl. Sacred Verses of the Woman) is a set of 143 verses composed by Andal, one of the twelve Alvars in Vaishnava tradition. In her restlessness and eagerness to attain Kannan (Krishna), Andal attempts various methods by which she can attain union with him, which forms the major part of work. Among the Tirumolis, Varanam Aayiram is very well-known and has a special significance. It details Andal's narration of her dream of her experiences with her friends on her way to achieve her purpose of birth (to marry Kannapiran).
