chooDaramma satulAla


In this lilting song,Annamaiah describes Alamelumanga the divine consort of Sri Venkatesa as Andal who wears a garland first and then adorns her deity with it.

P
chooDaramma satulAla sObAna pADaramma
kooDunnadi pati chooDi kuDuta nAnchAri ||

Oh virtuous women,look at Sri Venkatesa and his consort and sing auspicious songs. His consort is by His side.

C 1
 Sri mahalakshmi yaTa singArAla kEmarudu
kAmuni talli yaTa chakkadanAla kEmarudu
sOmuni tObuTTuvaTa sompu kaLala kEmarudu
kOmalAngi ee chooDi kuDuta nAnchAri ||

 She is Maha Lakshmi. Can there be any dearth for ornaments? She is the Mother of Manmatha. Will she be lacking in beauty? She is the sibbling of the Moon. Can there be any dearth of graceful glances? She is slender with lustrous hair. She is His divine consort.

C 2
 kalaSAbdhi kuturaTa gambhirAla kEmarudu
talapu lOkamAta yaTa daya mari Emarudu
jalaja nivAsini yaTa challdana mEmarudu
koladi meera ee chooDi kuDuta nAnchAri ||

 She is the daughter of the ocean. Will she not be majestic? She is the mother of the universe. Will she be lacking in compassion? She dwells on lotus in pool. Will she not be cool? She adorns a garland first and then offers to her deity.

C 3
amara vandita yaTa atte mahima Emarudu
amrutamu chuTTamaTa AnandAla kEmarudu
tami tO Sri venkaTESu tAnE vachchi penDlADe
komera vayassu ee chooDi kuDuta nAnchAri ||

The celestials bow to her. Is her glory in any way less? She is related to Amrutam(nectar). Is not her bliss infinite? Sri Venkatesa himself eagerly came and married her. She is young with beautiful and lustrous hair. She adorns a garland first and then offers it to her beloved deity .
