Tiruppavai
The Tiruppavai is a set of thirty Tamil Hindu hymns attributed to the female poet-saint Andal, one of the twelve poet-saints called the Alvars. Its stanzas, called pasurams, praise Perumal, that is Vishnu, and the work forms part of the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the collection of the Alvars' works and an important part of the devotional literature of Tamil.
