Iti Shree Godaadevi Ashtottara Shatanaamaavalih
Meaning
Goda Devi, called Andal in Tamil, is the only woman among the twelve Alvars. Her Ashtottara Shatanamavali gives 108 names that first tell her life and then describe her form. It opens with Om Godayai Namah and Om Sri Ranganayakyai Namah, naming her both as the girl Goda and as the consort of Ranganatha.
Her story in the names
The early names follow the biography Sri Vaishnavas know well. Vishnuchittatmaja and Bhattanathapriyakari name her as the daughter of Vishnuchitta, Periyalvar, and the joy of his life. Bhusuta, daughter of the earth, recalls that she was found as an infant in a tulasi garden. Sri Tanvipuravasini places her in Srivilliputhur. Amuktamalyada, the giver of a garland she had first worn, is the episode at the centre of her legend. Yatirajasahodari links her with Ramanuja, and Dhanurmasakritavrata with the vow she sings of in Tiruppavai.
From the feet upward
From about the fiftieth name the list turns into a meditation on her form. It begins at her soft feet, marked with the flag, vajra and goad, with toenails shaped like stars, and climbs through her girdle of gems, arms like branches of the wishing tree, conch-like neck, bimba-red lips and jasmine-bud teeth, to her half-moon forehead, kasturi tilaka and jewelled crest. The closing names, Sri Ranganilaya and Sri Godadevi, bring the list back to her name.
When it is recited
The namavali is used most in Dhanurmasa alongside Tiruppavai, on Adi Pooram, her birth star, and at Goda Kalyanam, held on Bhogi in many temples of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
