About This Stotram
Overview
The Goda Devi Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotram is a Sanskrit hymn enumerating 108 names of Goda Devi, also known as Andal, the Tamil Vaishnava saint-poet. Each name identifies a specific attribute or quality of Andal, making it a structured praise text within Sri Vaishnavism. The text honors Andal as a divine figure whose works — the Tiruppavai and Nachiyar Tirumozhi — are considered foundational to the tradition.
What are the benefits of chanting Goda Devi Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotram?
- Cultivates bhakti toward Andal and Lord Vishnu
- Helps the devotee internalize Andal's qualities of selfless devotion
- Recitation is associated with removal of obstacles and fulfillment of sincere prayers
- Encourages the study of the Tiruppavai and related Sri Vaishnava texts
When is the best time to recite this?
This stotram is recited during the Margazhi month (December–January), which corresponds to Andal's Tiruppavai tradition. It is also chanted on Vaikunta Ekadashi and on Andal's star day (Purattasi Shukra). Morning recitation before sunrise is the customary practice.
What is the historical and traditional background?
Goda Devi (Andal) is counted among the twelve Alwars of the Tamil Vaishnava tradition and is dated to approximately the 7th–8th century CE. She is the only female Alwar and is venerated as a manifestation of Bhudevi at the Srivilliputtur temple in Tamil Nadu. Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotrams of this type are a common form of Sri Vaishnava devotional literature compiled by acharyas to systematize the worship of specific figures. The exact authorship of this stotram is not documented.
