Tirukkuruntantakam

The Tirukkuruntantakam (Tamil: திருக்குறுந்தாண்டகம், romanized: Tirukkuruntāṇṭakam, lit. 'The short and sacred verse') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature penned by Tirumangai Alvar, one of the twelve poet-saints of Sri Vaishnavism. The work is a part of a compendium of hymns called the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. The Tirukkuruntantakam consists of 20 hymns and is 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, comprising quatrains of equal length.
