गोदा स्तुथिः
SrI Goda sthuthi
Thoopul Sri Vedantha Desikan had the blessings of Lord Hayagriva and was well versed in Sanskrit and Tamil and has composed slokas, Stothrams and Pasurams in both languages. While he was staying in Srivilliputhoor, one day he was planning to visit Andal Sannathi and offer his prayers after a few hours. But to his surprise he heard Mangala Vadhya noises on his street similar to that usually heard when a deity procession from the temple, takes place. When he came out to the entrance of his home. he saw utsavar Andal coming in a procession towards his home. He was surprised because he lived in a street that does not fall in the route for temple deity processions. He was excited because the very deity Andal that he was planning to visit was at his doorstep. Spontaneously came out this 29 stanza sanskrit stothram outpouring of his Bakthi towards Andal. It seemed that Andal could not wait for his arrival to Sannathi and decided to go him to get Managalasasanam.
Here is a presentation of SrI Godasthuthi.
