ANDAL

Later on, he became so concerned with the safety of God that he actually blessed God that nothing untoward should befall
Him!

Today that song has become famous and Vishnuchitta for that reason came to be called Periyalwar or Alwar the fatherly.

One day Vishnuchitta was watering the tulsi beds in his garden. As he was going round, he sighted a lovely baby girl
lying by the side of a tulsi plant. He was overwhelmed.

He took the child in both his hands and pressed it to his bosom. And the child smiled!

He was a bachelor; so he thought God had sent the child .to bring joy into his life.
He carried the child home and brought her up as his own daughter with infinite care.

He named her Goda, meaning the gift of the earth.
