Pasurams 1–12 of 4000
Thiruppallandu is the benediction that opens every Divya Prabandham recitation. Overwhelmed by the vision of Sriman Narayana, Periyalvar does something unique in devotional literature — instead of asking for blessings, he sings protective blessings to the Lord Himself: "pallandu, pallandu" — may You be safe for many years, and many thousands of years.
Its twelve pasurams extend this mangalasasanam to the Lord's consort, His discus and conch, and His devotees. In the Sri Vaishnava tradition it is treated as the seed of the entire 4000 and is sung at the start and close of recitation.

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 Thiruppallandu
Thiruppallandu runs from pasuram 1 to 12 — 12 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.
