11. pinjchAyp pazhuththEnO ANdALaip pOlE
Andal was born as the incarnation of Bhu Devi in the garden of Periyazhvar under a Tulasi plant. She was picked up Periyazhvar and was brought up in his household as his own daughter. Not surprisingly, Periyazhvar's love for Sri Krishna also manifested in Andal and She developed great love for Sri Krishna even at a tender age. This love came out as two great works which are part of the 4000 Divya Prabandhams - Thiruppavai and Nachchiyar Thirumozhi. Through both, She declared Her surrender to the Lord and that She would not belong to any other. It is said that She wrote Thiruppavai at the age of five!
In his Upadesa Raththinamalai, Manavala Mamunigal states
anju kudikkoru sandhadhiyAy AzhvArgal tham seyalai vinji niRkum thanmaiyaLAy - pinjAyp pazhuththALai ANdALai nALum paththiyudan vazhuththAy manamE magizhndhu
Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I show great love for Sri Krishna at a tender age like Andal did?"
