Pasurams 872–916 of 4000
"Those who do not know Thirumalai do not know the Lord" — so goes the traditional saying about these forty-five pasurams addressed to Ranganatha of Srirangam. Thondaradippodi Azhwar sings the glory of the divine name itself, declaring it greater than heaven.
The work is loved for its honesty: the Azhwar confesses his own failings without reserve, and rests everything on the Lord's grace and the company of devotees.

காவலில் புலனை வைத்துக் * கலிதன்னைக் கடக்கப் பாய்ந்து *
நாவலிட்டு உழிதருகின்றோம் * நமன் தமர் தலைகள் மீதே **
மூவுலகு உண்டு உமிழ்ந்த * முதல்வ நின் நாமம் கற்ற *
ஆவலிப் புடைமை கண்டாய் * அரங்க மா நகருளானே (1)

Read the original Tamil text of Thirumalai
The free library presents public-domain Tamil pasurams with original editorial context. Each reading page also provides an ordinary external link to the corresponding Uveda page for independent study.
The pages are arranged in source-defined chapters where those groupings exist, and in clearly labelled neutral reading parts elsewhere, so the complete work remains easy to navigate without inventing traditional divisions.
How to memorise Thirumalai
Thirumalai runs from pasuram 872 to 916 — 45 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.
