                    Lord for the mistake committed by his daughter in wearing the garland 
                    prepared by him for the Lord The Lord appeared in Vishnuchitta's 
                    dream that night and said, " Vishnu chitta, your daughter Gada 
                    devi is very dear to me. She is my greatest devotee. I admire her 
                    devotion towards me. Without any hesitation you may offer me the 
                    garland worn by her."   Vishnuchitta got up from sleep. He called his daughter near him. 
                    He told her, "Dear child, I am your father only for name sake 
                    I admire the Bhakthi for the Lord in you. I do not any more stand 
                    between you and the Lord. You may do as you please."   Gada devi said, "Father, I love Lord Krishna very dearly. 
                    I consider him my husband and Lord. As she said this, tears rolled 
                    down from her eyes. She immediately ran away from that place and 
                    entered the puja mandir.  Vishnuchitta could not understand as to how his daughter's desire 
                    for the Lord would he fulfilled and how she could possess Him as 
                    her husband.   This being so, Lord Ranganatha of Sri Rangapuram appeared in the 
                    dream of the Archakas of the temple. there and ordered them that 
                    Goda devi or Sri Villiputhur be brought in a palanquin before Him.   Accordingly the archakas went to 'Sri Villiputhur accompanied

                    and requested him to send his daughter with them in the palanquin. 
                    How could Vishnuchitta disobey the command of the Lord? He sent 
                    his daughter with them blessing her. Tears of joy rolled from his 
                    eyes Goda devi was taken to Sri Rangapuram. On reaching the temple 
                    of Lord Ranganatl1a she became an Andal and merged in the Lord.   Even to day in Sri Rangapuram, Andal is being worshipped along
