The Periyalvar Tirumoli (Tamil: பெரியாழ்வார் திருமொழி, romanized: Periyāḻvār Tirumoḻi, lit. 'Sacred verses of Periyalvar') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature written by Periyalvar, one of the twelve Alvars, the poet-saints of Sri Vaishnavism. Comprising 473 verses, it is part of the compendium of hymns called the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, dating back to the 9th century CE.




Hymns


A hymn of the Periyalvar Tirumoli describes the temple of Srirangam as the home of the Dashavatara, as translated by Vasudha Narayanan:

This is the temple of him who becamethe divine fish, tortoise, boar, lion, and dwarf.He became Rama in three forms, he became Kanna,and as Kalki, he will end [these worlds].Periyalvar also extols Krishna's act of lifting the mountain, Govardhana:
Like the king of the serpents opening his many hoodsand supporting the vast worlds on it,The five fingers of Damodara's hand openedlike the petals of a flowerand held aloft Govardhana.
