Hymns
The Perumal Tirumoli notably contain five decads on the holy town of Srirangam, and five each on Rama[4] and Krishna, the latter considered to be of great poetic merit.[5]
The first pasuram, or hymn, of this work is as follows:[6]
When is the day that my pair of eyes shall rejoice, beholding
the dark Sapphire, the delicate One, who sleeps
— as clear-watered Ponni rubs [His] feet
with the hands [that are her] waves
— in the great town of Srirangam, having reached
the bed of great whiteness shining with ornaments,
called Ananta, the king of serpents, the great effulgence,
whose forehead twinkles with gems that glow
so that darkness retreats, [and] over whom spread a thousand hoods with groups
of decorative spots?— Perumal Tirumoli, Hymn 1.1
