The pasuram presented below is by Andal also known as Soodikoduththa Nachiyar. Andal was divine gifted daughter of  Periazhwar who brought her up in Bakthi claden environment. He was narrating the entire Bala Leelas of Krishna. Kothai was fully immersed in Lord Krishna and her bakthi to the Lord had so much depth that Kothai brought the Lord under control with her bakthi. Periazhwar had a Nanadavanam of his own and used to offer a variety of flowers every day as mala, which Andal used it on herself first before offering it to the Lord. Andal composed Thiruppavai and Nachiyar Thirumozhi bakthi laden pasurams on Lord Krishna.  

In this Nachiyar Thiumozhi pasuram " தாமுகக்கும் தம்கையில் சங்கமே போலாவோ " , Andal  expresses her disappointment and feelings arising out of the fact that Lord Ranganatha is ignoring her 

Andal who is upset with the fact that Lord Ranganatha had not cast a glance at her. She complains to the assembled ladies that the sangu bangles on her hand is slipping out of her hands as the hands have become thin because of suffering from separation from the Lord and Andal says " While Lord Ranganatha holds the sangu (conch) all the time in his hands , is it not fair for me to hold on to my bangle,If only the Lord reclining on Adhisesha had the compassion to care for me". Andal feels jealous about Adhisesha soley sharing Lord Ranganatha's companionship and describes him as one with fierce emitting fire" She even hints that if Lord Ranganatha is bent on resting on Adhisesha without caring for her, the Lord ought to have stayed backin Paramapadam.
