அபிராமி அந்தாதி [Android]

Abirami Anthathi(Tamil: அபிராமி அந்தாதி, Apirāmi antāti) is a Tamil collection of poems sung on goddess Abirami resided in Thirukkadaiyur Amirtaghatesvarar Sivan Temple, situated in Tamil Nadu, India. This poetry was composed by Abhirami Bhattar lived in 18th century CE, a contemporary to Serfoji I of Tanjore.

"Anthathi"(Tamil: அந்தாதி, Antāti) is a classification of Tamil poetry in which the last word of a previous verse comes as the first word of next verse. Thus this kind of poem gots its name, Antam (அந்தம், the end) + āti (ஆதி, the beginning) = Antāti. Since this Andhadhi was sung on goddess Abhirami residing in Thirukkadavur, Tamil Nadu, it is known as Abirami Andhadhi.[2] Although Tamil literature consists of hundreds of Andhadhi songs, Abhirami Anthadi is praised as one of the prominent Andhadhi songs of Tamil literature.

It is said that the author of this song, Abhirami Bhattar, was an ardent devotee of goddess shakti and he lied to king Serfoji I who visited Thirukkadavur temple that the day was astrologically full moon day while it was actually a new moon day. Legends say that he sung this anthadhi until goddess made appearance in front of him and she threw her earring towards the sky which simultaneously converted itself into the full moon. Tamil Shaktas believe that recitation of Abhirami Andhadhi in full moon and new moon days will result in impossible boons.

There are a hundred stanzas plus a காப்பு (Kāppu, protection) verse for Lord Ganesha and final பயன் (Payaṉ, outcome), totally 102 stanzas are included in Abhirami Anthathi.The author praises Abhirami as his own mother, and regretting for his mistakes, the divine play of mother with father Sivan, and the simplicity and mercy of her. It is believed that recitation of each stanza will result specific achievement for the devotees.
