Origin of the GodhA Sthuthi
******************************
The first slOkam of GodhA sthuthi arose from Swami Desikan spontaneously as he stood on a side street at SrivilliputthUr on a PradhOsham evening to find out the origin of fast approaching sounds of the mangaLa vaadhyams.
He was planning to go to ANDAL Sannidhi later for MangaLAsAsanam.
ANDAL's normal processional route did not include the street , where Swami Desikan was staying.

Sri VishNu chittha kula nandhana kalpavallIm

Oh GodhE! adiyEn performs prapatthi at Your sacred feet as one, who has no other recourse!
adiyEn has no one else for my protection.
In Your limitless patience with the aparAdhis, who transgress Your Lord's commands,
You appear verily like BhUmi Devi;
AdiyEn offers my prapatthi at Your sacred feet as the one, who has no other means.
Thus Swamy Desikan offers his prayers like this:
She is most beautiful as She gives us Her darsanam as the Karpaka creeper united with Her Lord Sri Rangarajan standing majestically as the Harichandana tree in that Nanda vanam
indeed ,Godhai is the embodiment of forbearance;
When it comes to the quality of Her Mercy, Godhai is a veritable MahA Lakshmi (KamalA).
