nAcciyAr tirumozhi - I - kAmanai vENDudal.

pASuram 7 - kAyuDai nelloDu.

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagopan's tamizh treatise.

 

ANDAL calls for scholars well-versed in kAmaSastram, and with their help

recites the mantrams meant for manmathan with proper svarams and

pronunciations. She prepares the prasAdam favorite to manmathan, made out of

raw rice kernels, sugarcane, jaggery, rice and aval and offers it to him.

Then she prays to him: bless me to make trivikraman, who measured the three

worlds with His auspicious feet once, hug me with His divine hands; let Him

embrace this young body of mine, which has been protectively grown only for Him,

and as a result make me attain immeasurable fame in this world. This prayer

of ANDAL is conveyed in three pASurams, the first of which follows:

 

kAyuDai nelloDu karumbu amaittu

katti ariSi aval amaittu

vAyuDai maRaiyavar mandirattAl

manmathanE! unnai vaNa~nguginREn

deSam mun aLandavan tiri-vikkiraman
