In the Thiruppavai, Andal, as a Gopi in Ayarpadi, emphasizes that the ultimate goal of life is to seek surrender and refuge at the Lord's feet. In North India, Radha Rani is celebrated as the "Queen of Bhakthi (devotion)." Similarly, in South India Andal is remembered for her pure love and devotion. She is also known by the phrase, "Soodi kodutha Sudarkodi," which literally means, "The bright creeper-like woman who gave her garlands after wearing them." Kodhai was well-respected by devotees and came to be known as "Andal," the girl who "ruled" over the Lord. Andal has been accepted as a reincarnation of Bhūmi Devi (Sri Lakshmi, the Earth Goddess). This temple was build by the King Villi and hence the place name Villuputhur. It was Andal who made the flower garland daily for Lord, first wore it on herself and then offered it to the Lord. The young Andal grew into lovely and graceful girl.

In the process, she waits impatiently, and finally in Patti Meindor Karerur Thirumozhi, she is reunited with Vishnu. The remaining Thirumozhis are dedicated to different efforts by Andal to somehow speed up her union with Perumal. The eighth Thirumozhi called "Vinnila Melappu" deals with kOdai telling her plight to the clouds and sending them as her messenger to Govindan, who is stationed in Thirumalai. The sixth decad indicates her dream to marry Lord laying down the principles of spiritual dynamics. Experts attribute the verses to Pancharartra Agama, a mode of worship practiced in Vaishnavite temples. Kuyil Pattu or cuckoo's song forms the fifth decad where Andal requests cuckoo to sing in praise of Krishna. The fourth decad has poems where she expresses her union with Lord. The third decad is a set similar to the vastraprahana, the playful chapter in Krishna's life when he took away garments of Gopikas and their request to get them back. The second decad is a compilation of Andal's prayer to preserver the sand castle she built on the river. Andal expresses that she will lose her life if she is married to someone else other than Lord Krishna. The first decad is a set of verses to pray Kama (cupid) to seek Krishna as her husband. Similarly, all the other tirumozhi-s are named based on the first few words of the first pasuram of the Thirumozhi. 
The first Thirumozhi, is called "tai oru ti’ngaLum", based on the first phrase of the first Pasuram. And each Tirumozhi deals with one specific topic.
Similarly all the other Tirumozhis are named after the first phrase of first pasuram. And is named after the first phrase of the first pasuram 'tai oru tingalum' (Tamil : தையொரு திங்கள்). Thus the first set of ten pasurams is called as first Tirumozhi. These 143 pasurams (verses) are organized in 14 segments and each one is called "Tirumozhi".
