CHOODARAMMA SATHULAARA – చూడరమ్మ సతులార
[Annamacharya is praising Goddess Andal - at Sri Rangam Tamilnadu, India- in this kriti.]

పల్లవి
చూడరమ్మ సతులారా సోబాన పాడరమ్మ
కూడున్నది పతి చూడి కుడుత నాంచారి
chUDaramma sathulArA sObAna pADaramma
kUDunnadi pathi chUDi kuDuta nAMchAri

Look out O’ Women of merits! Please sing auspiciously (about Her propitious qualities)!
Together with (Her) Lord (Venkateshvara), Choodi Koduttha Naamchaari (Andal).
[The tamil term, Choodi =  Worn; Koduttha = Gave; Choodi Kodutta Nacchiyaar = (the lady who gave (the flower garland to Lord Vishnu of Sri Ramgam) after wearing it.
Choodi Koduttha Naamchari is GOdA Devi also called as AnDAL]

చరణం 1
శ్రీమహాలక్ష్మియట సింగారాలకే మరుదు
కాముని తల్లియట చక్కదనాలకే మరుదు
సోముని తోబుట్టువట సొంపుకళలకేమరుదు
కోమలాంగి ఈ చూడి కుడుత నాంచారి
SrImahAlakShmiyaTa siMgArAlakE marudu
kAmuni thalliyaTa chakkadanAlakE marudu
sOmuni thObuTTuvaTa soMpukaLalakEmarudu
kOmalAMgi I chUDi kuDutha nAMchAri

Seems that She is Sri Maha Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth), (thus) what is scanty in (Her) Beautifications!
Seems that She is the Mother of Kaama Deva (Manmadha - God of Love and Pleasure), (thus) what is scanty in (Her) Pleasing appearances!
Seems that She is the Sister of Soma (The Moon God), (thus) what is scanty in (Her) grace and elegance!
This Choodi Kuduttha Naamchaari is a soft bodied woman!
[Pradyumna the son of Lord Lrishna and Rukmini is the reincarnation of Kama Deva or Manmadha.
Soma or the Moon God also emerged from the mythical milky ocean along with Lakshmi when the gods and anti gods churned it for the Elixir.]

కలశాబ్ధి కూతురట గంభీరలకే మరుదు
తలపలోక మాతయట దయ మరి ఏమరుదు
జలజనివాసినియట చల్లదనమేమరుదు
కొలదిమీర ఈ చూడి కుడుత నాంచారి
kalashAbdhi kUthuraTa gaMBIralakE marudu
thalapalOka mAthayaTa daya mari Emarudu
jalajanivAsiniyaTa challadanamEmarudu
koladimIra I chUDi kuDutha nAMchAri

Seems that She is the Daughter of the "Ocean of Milk", (thus) what is scanty in (Her) profundity!
Realizing, She is the Mother of the Universe, (thus) what is scanty in (Her) compassion!
Seems that She is the inhabitant of the “Water Born” (Lotus), (thus) what is the scanty in (Her) tenderness!
As such this “Choodi Kuduttha Naamchaari” is Limitless!

చరణం 3
అమరవందితయట అట్టీ మహిమ ఏమరుదు
అమౄతము చుట్టమట ఆనందాలకేమరుదు
తమితో శ్రీవేంకటేశు తానె వచ్చి పెండ్లాడె
కౌమెర వయస్సు ఈ చూడి కుడుత నాంచారి
amaravaMdithayaTa aTTI mahima Emarudu
amRuthamu chuTTamaTa AnaMdAlakEmarudu
thamitO SrIvEMkaTESu thAne vacchi peMDlADe
koumera vayassu I chUDi kuDuta nAMchAri

Seems that She is Glorified by the Immortals, (thus) where is scanty in such Glory!
Seems that She is a kin to the Ambrosia (Elixir=the magical potion that gives immortality), (thus) where is scanty in (Her) Delights!
Willingly Lord Sri Venkatesha Himself came and married (Her).
Such is this Choodi Koduttha Naamchaari in (Her) Blooming age!!
