'third sacred hymn')[1] is a Tamil Hindu work of literature composed by Peyalvar,[2] one of the twelve Alvars of Sri Vaishnavism.

According to Sri Vaishnava legend, Poigai Alvar once travelled to offer his veneration to Vishnu at the Ulagalantha Perumal temple at Tirukoilur.

During an ensuing rainstorm, Poigai found some accommodation at a mandapam, and was asked by Pey if he could share some space in his room.

The trio decided that it would be most proper for an individual to lie down, two people to be seated, but the fact that there were three of them meant that it would be most suitable for all of them to stand.

[5][6] The first hymn of the Munram Tiruvantati describes the poet-saint's thoughts when he witnessed a vision of Vishnu and Lakshmi:[7] The vision rose before me first,now at this very instant,of the divine mother with my ocean-like Lord.Then I saw his brilliant form radiant like the sun,with his sparkling discus deadly in battle in one hand,and the curved conch in the other.The author also references Krishna's deeds during his childhood and adulthood in this work:[8] Can the world understand this wonder?
