Tamil Hindu work of literature / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tirunetuntantakam (Tamil: திருநெடுந்தாண்டகம், romanized: Tirunetuntāṇṭakam, lit. 'The sacred and long verse') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature authored by Tirumangai Alvar,[1][2] one of the twelve poet-saints of Sri Vaishnavism.[3] The work is a part of a compendium of hymns called the Nalayira Divya Prabandham.[4] The Tirunetuntantakam consists of 30 hymns dedicated to the deity Vishnu. It is written in a Tamil poetic meter known as the tāṇṭakam, in which each line of a stanza consists of more than 26 syllables, composed of quatrains of equal length.[5][6]
