Dear fellow vaishnava bhaktas I am working on an article on Kooraththazhwar and I was wondering if anyone out there can clarify one matter for me or refer me to authentic sources: it is regarding his marriage to Andal in Kanchipuram. That her father had problem getting her married is accepted: however, I have read two versions for this state of affairs. One version says that as she was very educated, there was a taboo in those times attached to scholarly women, and hence the problem finding a groom for her. Another version says that her horoscope indicated that the man she would marry would meet his death soon after their union, and hence the difficulty in finding her a husband. Could someone tell me which version is the right one - or refer me to some source/book that would clarify this? I thank you in anticipation.
