Transliterated lyrics:
villi nagarattil vishNucittar magaLAga
vanda tiru ADi pUr nAL
tuLasi vanam tanil SukravAram avatAramAgiya
SankhamEndiya tigiri aNinda jyOti Ana nAmam Ayiran

Meaning:
I sing the kauthvam (poetry) in praise of the (kOdai) young girl who became (Agiya) the bride (pUmagal) of SrI ranganAtha: She came (vanda) to this earth as the daughter (magaLAg) of SrI vishNucittar in the city (nagarattil) of SrIvilliputtUr (villi). She was found/became incarnate (avatAram Agiya) in (tanil) a grove (vanam) of tuLasI shrubs on an auspicious friday (SukravAram) in the fourth tamizh month of ADi (July/August) on the day (nAL) when the star was pUrva phalguni (pUram). Her father, a very pious man used to collect fresh flowers everyday to make the huge garlands that adorned the Lord. (She grew up into a lovely, graceful young girl and fell in love with the Lord, ranganAtha, and began to first wear the garland herself before handing it to her dad to take to the temple.The poet continues, she ultimately became the bride (pUmagaL) of that Lord of a thousand (Ayiram) names (nAman) who carries (Endiya) a conch (shankh(g)am) and weilds (aNinda) the discuss (tigiri) and lies/reposes (shayanan) on the leaf (patra) of the banyan (vaTa) tree.

I think andaal kauthuvam was composed by gangai muthu nattuvanaar. Are you sure of the lyrics credits?

[@SukanyaKumar]

The lyrics are more recent according to my research. Have you specifically read it as his composition somewhere? Please share the source if you know. This is what my research tells me and am sure unless there is some source that proves otherwise.

[@ramachandrahanuman148]

@@SukanyaKumar yes I have read somewhere that its him. Atleast the verses were by him. I will try to check and share ASAP. Can you confirm this version of kauthuvam was penned by the person you have given credits to? I don't find any such source.

[@SukanyaKumar]

@@ramachandrahanuman148 please do share the source where it says that this version of sollukattu is his composition. I found it to be L Subasri, originally in the collection of kauthvams book. And then here online: www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4027. Also Anita Ratnam who has also danced this mentions the cholkattu to be by L Subasri. I have learnt another Andal Kauthuvam from my Guru TK Mahalingam Pillai and that had a different cholkattu and was composed by Gangaimuthu Nattuvanar. So please check if its this version.
