Namaskarams.

I subscribe to the belief that Andal was referring to
brahma muhurtham. But it is perfectly fine to have
more decorative commentaries/interpretations.

There used to be controversy about the stanza 
'theekuralai senrothom". Some advaita acharya's were
interpreting it as 'thirukural' which was objected by
our acharyas. To them it just means improper speech
with bad intentions arising due to the tamas. While I
believe it has nothing to do with THirukural - why
they say theekuralai chendru othom?
This looks like you got to a place to study or chant
if literal meaning is taken. One can also think
(though it is probably Gayatri mantra which women are
not supposed to chant - because it is brief and it can
refer to Sun god who is the form of Fire (Thee). Andal
is telling seyyathana seyyom and this can add validity
to what I am thinking). I can be completely wrong
however as I am no where near schloarship or spiritual
understanding.

Andal thiruvadigale saranam.

warm regards,
Balaji S.
