Kanaa Kanden - Andal Dreams

Little Kodhai, daughter of Vishnuchitta Periyazhwar secretly wears the garland meant for the deity Vatapatrasayee of Srivilliputtur. She admires herself by looking at her reflection in the water of the well at home and is lost in a divine visualization of her dream wedding with the lord. She sings a set of verses beginning with "Varanam Ayiram", describing this dream in great detail to a friend. This set is included in the 143 verses of her Nachiyar Thirumozhi. Each verse in this set ends with the phrase "...kanaa kanden thozhi naan" which translates to "...so I dreamt, my friend!", the inspiration behind this piece.
