                                 ^^^^^^^^^
   A typo here. It should be  `sammaanam'.
                               ^^^^^^^^^

           ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ 
 Two typos. This line is:

 `paadagamE enRanaiya palgalanum yaam aNivOm'
            ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
>aadai uduppOm adhan pinnE paaR chOru
                                ^^^^^
  A typo here. It is `chORu'. The Malayalam word for uncooked
rice is `ari', which, I think, is a pure Tamil word. The Tamil
word in usage, `arisi' must be from this word `ari'.

>Beautiful (seer) Govinda (gOvindhaa) who wins over (vellum) the enemies
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  I think the word `seer' means `siRandha' [ great or eminent ] here.

>(koorarai)!If you ask us what gift (sammaanan) we (yaam) want to obtain (peRum)
 ^^^^^^^^^                           ^^^^^^^^^
                                          ^
                                          |
                                          \
  Typo. It is `koodaarai'. This word is `sammaanam'.

>for singing (paadi) about you (undhanaai) and chanting your names in public
                                ^^^^^^^^^
 Typo. It is `undhanai'.

>being praised (pugazhum) by the whole country (naadu), bracelet (choodagam),

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  
  These ornaments seem to be outdated in cities.

>(enRu) those. We will dress up (uduppOm) with beautiful clothes (aadai).

  I think in these lines AndaaL gives her viewpoint as a girl in a rich
society.

^^^^^^^^^^
  Typo. It is `paayasam'.

>dripping (peydhu) in Ghee (ney) flowing (vazhivaara) upto our elbows
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  I don't think this is good for people taking diet.
