Pasurams 2182–2281 of 4000
Bhoothath Azhwar answered Poigai's lamp with his own: "love is the bowl, longing the ghee, the melting mind the wick". Irandam Thiruvandhadhi continues the chain of one hundred pasurams begun that night at Thirukkovalur.
Where the first andhadhi lit the lamp of the world, this one lights the lamp of love — devotion itself becomes the light by which the Lord is seen.

அன்பே தகளியா * ஆர்வமே நெய் ஆக *
இன்பு உருகு சிந்தை இடு திரியா ** நன்பு உருகி
ஞானச் சுடர் விளக்கு ஏற்றினேன் * நாரணற்கு *
ஞானத் தமிழ் புரிந்த நான் 1

Editorial reading guide
A reading path through Irandam Thiruvandhadhi
The source gives this andhadhi as one chain of one hundred pasurams, without named subchapters. These groupings are editorial signposts rather than traditional divisions.
- Love as the lamp, pasurams 1–3. Love, desire, the melting mind and wisdom supply the opening lamp. The next pasurams turn to understanding and reciting Narayana's names, then to worship with fragrant flowers.
- Temple, landscape and heart. Pasurams 25–26 and 28 move among Thiruvenkatam, Srirangam and the Lord's presence within the heart. The imagery joins physical pilgrimage to inward remembrance.
- Networks of sacred places. Pasurams 46 and 70 name groups of temples, while pasuram 54 asks the Lord to remain in the heart as He remains in His hill and ocean abodes.
- Humble praise and the closing run. Pasuram 83 offers the poet's own words in hope of grace. Pasurams 94–97 revisit Thiruppadagam, Athiyur in Kachi and Kudandai before pasuram 100 ends with love declared without limit.
Read the preceding Mudhal Thiruvandhadhi to see how the lamp image changes, then continue to Moonram Thiruvandhadhi, which completes the three-work sequence.

How to memorise Irandam Thiruvandhadhi
Irandam Thiruvandhadhi runs from pasuram 2182 to 2281 — 100 pasurams in all. The app builds a daily plan around whatever pace you choose, so the pasurams arrive in small, repeatable portions rather than all at once.
The personal plan organises the Tamil pasurams into manageable daily portions, adds recall practice and brings earlier portions back through spaced reviews. Pasurams you already know can be marked as known, and a final exam and certificate are available once a whole prabandham is complete.
