Pasurams 2673–2712 of 4000
Siriya Thirumadal follows Thirumangai Azhwar in the voice of Parakala Nayaki, a heroine overcome by separation. It moves from a debate about life's goals to her sight of the Lord's pot dance, the love-sickness that follows, and a fortune teller's identification of its cause.
She recalls the Lord's deeds, sends her own heart as a messenger, names the temples where she will seek Him, and ends by resolving to continue the palm-leaf madal despite public criticism.

Editorial reading guide
How Siriya Thirumadal unfolds
The source presents Siriya Thirumadal as a continuous forty-part sequence with no named subchapters. The movements below are an editorial guide to its narrative, not canonical divisions.
- Goals and separation, parts 1–4. Earth imagery introduces a discussion of life's goals. Speaking as Parakala Nayaki in the pain of separation, the voice then turns from that argument to her own experience.
- Encounter and diagnosis, parts 5–12. She sees the Lord's pot dance, becomes pale and loses her bangles. Her mother seeks help, and a fortune teller identifies the thousand-named, dark-hued Lord as the cause.
- A catalogue of deeds, parts 13–24. The account recalls the butter episode, Kalinga, Rama and Ravana, Narasimha, Vamana, the churning of the ocean and the rescue of Gajendra.
- Heart, gossip and precedent, parts 25–33. Wind and sleeplessness deepen the heroine's suffering; the heart sent as messenger does not return. The story of Vasavadatta introduces a woman who follows her beloved despite public criticism.
- Temples and the madal, parts 34–40. The close names a long itinerary of divya desams, returns to the Lord's thousand names and states the heroine's resolve to continue her palm-leaf madal even when the town condemns her.
Compare the larger companion work, Periya Thirumadal. The temple itinerary also connects naturally to Thirumangai Azhwar's Periya Tirumozhi, while the heroine voice offers a point of comparison with Thirunedunthandagam.
