Pasurams 474–503 of 4000
Tiruppavai is Andal's beloved thirty-pasuram vow. Taking the form of a gopi of Gokulam in the month of Margazhi, she wakes her friends one by one, walks them to Krishna's door, and asks not for wealth but for eternal service — "unakke naam aatcheyvom".
Recited in homes and temples every Margazhi dawn, Tiruppavai is often called the seed of the Vedas in Tamil. Its final pasuram promises that those who recite these thirty will receive the Lord's grace everywhere.
Opening pasuram · 474
மார்கழித் திங்கள் * மதி நிறைந்த நன்னாளால் *
நீராடப் போதுவீர்! போதுமினோ நேரிழையீர் ! *
சீர் மல்கும் ஆய்ப்பாடிச் செல்வச் சிறுமீர்காள்! *
கூர் வேல் கொடுந்தொழிலன் நந்தகோபன் குமரன் **
ஏர் ஆர்ந்த கண்ணி யசோதை இளஞ்சிங்கம் *
கார் மேனிச் செங்கண் கதிர்மதியம் போல் முகத்தான் *
நாராயணனே நமக்கே பறை தருவான் *
பாரோர் புகழப் படிந்து ஏலோர் எம்பாவாய் (1)

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 Tiruppavai
Tiruppavai runs from pasuram 474 to 503 — 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.
