SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

After PeriyAzhwAr anubhavams, let us now continue on
his darling daughter GodhA PiraaTTi?s Naacchiyaar
Thirumozhi verses... on ThiruvEnkatam? [Extracted from
the most wonderful translation of Smt Kalyani
Krishnamachari based on Sri Sadagopan Swamin?s
treatise and acharyas? commentaries.]  

nAcciyAr tirumozhi VIII ? starts with viNNIla mElAppu
? these ten verses are on ThiruvEnkatam. Let us enjoy
the seventh verse today.. 

Sa~nga-mA-kaDal kaDaindAn taN mugilgAL,
vEnkaTattuc- ce~nkaN mAl SevaDik-kIzh aDi vIzhcci
viNNappam
ko~ngai mEl kukumattin kuzhambu azhiap-pugundu,
oru nAL ta~ngumEl en Avi tangum enRu uraiyIrE 8.7

Translation (meaning) from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh
treatise: 
Oh Great clouds that belong to tiruvE~nkaTam, which is
the residence of the One who churned the great Milky
Ocean with lots of conches! Please go and deliver this
message at His Feet - that the only way godai will
continue to live is if He comes at least for one day
and blesses her with His tight embrace such that the
kumkumam she has applied on her body gets disturbed. 

Additional thoughts from SrImAn SaDagOpan: Deciding
that shyness and hesitation are of no use to her any
more, godai sends a very serious message as above to
tiruppati SrInivAsan who obtained the great treasure
in the form of mahA lakshmi after churning the
tiruppARkaDal filled with Sa~nkams. It is only by
fulfilling her request that she will be rid of her
naDalai nOi and get to live. 

Additional thoughts from SrI PVP:

Sa~nga mA-kaDal kaDaindAn: He strained His own
tirumEni to give whatever His devotees desired, and
churned the huge ocean such that all the Sa~ngams that
were lying deep down in the bottom of the ocean rose
up and spilled over. (SrI T. S. rAjagopAlan adds: "He
worked so hard to get mahAlakshmi from pARkaDal; He
doesn't have to perform that great a feat to get me.
All He has to do is to come and embraceme").

kaDaindAn taN mugilgAL: It is in the land of this
Great emperumAn that these clouds belong. (The
implication is that living in His land, the clouds
should help godai in accomplishing here prayers - SrI
kr*shNasvAmi aiye~ngAr). 

These clouds are so soothing in showering their
cooling waters that it is as if they are trying to
comfort Him after His strenuous ordeal of churning the
ocean. vEnkaTattuc-ce~nkaN mAl: The Great Lord of
tiruvE~nkaTam whose eyes resemble the red-hued lotus
petal. 

"He helped the dEva-s, who were after material things;
in order to offset that, He came to tirupati to show
His vAtsalyam-filled eyes to those who required
nothing but Him". 
There is another reason why His eyes are so red. "Oh
clouds! If you wonder why this godai is suffering so
much for Him when He is not coming anyway, you can go
to Him and look at His red eyes. It is because He has
not been sleeping as a result of His great longing for
godai." (Just as rAma could not sleep after losing
sItA - "anidrah satatam rAma:" - sundara kANDam 36-44,
here tiruvE~nkaTamudaiyAn is not sleeping because He
does not havegodai.)

SevaDik-kIzh: At His Feet. Go and prostrate at His
Feet and deliver my humble message with humility. The
message needs to be delivered because He being a man,
may not know the suffering of a woman under these
circumstances. 

ennAvi tangum: "In case He thinks that it is too late
and godai might not get to live even if He makes that
special trip, tell Him that there is a way for me to
live". 

pugundu oru nAL ta~ngumEl en Avi ta~ngum: Even for a
day, even once, if He comes and embraces Her with
love, life will remain in her body. For all the pains
she undertook in applying kumkumam paste every day, is
it enough if He comes and embraces her just for one
day? 

SrI PVP speculates the answer for godai: it is not
enough for bhOgam; but it is enough for her to live.
For sustenance ? one day is enough; for enjoyment
always 

kuzambu aziyap pugundu: He should embrace her such
that all the decoration she has applied on her self is
all mangled up. This is because all the kumkumam etc.
that she has applied is ever wet. He is a svatantran,
and it is difficult to say when He will come; on the
other hand, she is a paratantrai, and so she keeps
herself ready for Him by continuously decorating
herself. She keeps applying it every day without
losing hope. 

In pASuram 3, godai had declared: 
"gOvindan guNam pADi.. Avi kAttu iruppEnE" - that
situation has now gone out of hand, and she will live
only if He personally comes and embracesher.

Additional thoughts from SrI PBA:

aDi vIzhcci - ANDAL uses this to refer to herself as
His adiyAL. (The alternate meaning we saw earlier was
that the clouds should prostrate at His Feet and make
the request on ANDAL's behalf).
