(2) Nachiyar Tirumozhi — 143 padams; longing for Vishnu as cosmic husband. Married to Lord Ranganatha (Srirangam temple) age 15 — story: Garlands she pre-wore; Periazhwar shocked; Vishnu appeared in dream "She is my consort"; processession to Srirangam; she merged with deity. Tiruppavai — 1500 years old; recited daily December-January in every Sri Vaishnava home worldwide. Telugu Vaishnavas connect via Tirumala-Tirupati.

కథ

Lakshmi (10) at Tirumala temple saw garland — Periazhwar wove daily for Vishnu, Andal pre-wore secretly! Father Sriram: "**Andal — 8th century saint; she pre-wore garlands meant for Lord; Periazhwar saw black hair on garland — shocked!**" Lakshmi: "Father shouted?" Sriram: "Yes, but **Vishnu appeared in dream — 'She is my consort; her garland purer because pre-worn.'** From then, Andal's pre-worn garlands sent to Vishnu temples." Showed **Tiruppavai** — 30 padams; Lakshmi listened MS Subbulakshmi rendition. "**Pre-marriage day** — Andal age 15; processed to Srirangam; **merged into Ranganatha deity**." Lakshmi: "Like Mira-bai!" Sriram: "Mira 16th c.; Andal 8th c. — 700 years earlier; **female bhakti pioneer**." Lakshmi started Margazhi vrata: every December-January, recite 1 Tiruppavai padam daily. After 30 days = full text. **శ్రీ ఆండాళ్ తిరువడిగళే శరణం**.
