Pasurams 2052–2081 of 4000
Thirunedunthandagam, thirty pasurams in the long thandagam metre, is regarded by the commentators as the ripest fruit of Thirumangai Azhwar's poetry. Much of it speaks in the voice of a heroine pining for the Lord, and of her mother and friend describing her state.
Tradition holds these thirty pasurams in special esteem: Ramanuja's teacher Thirukkoshtiyur Nambi is said to have taught them with the same care as the deepest secrets.

தளிர் புரையும் திருவடி என் தலைமேலவே 1

How to memorise Thirunedunthandagam
Thirunedunthandagam runs from pasuram 2052 to 2081 — 30 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.
