Sriranga Gadyam

[4] According to the Sri Vaishnava narrative, Ramanuja and his disciples visited the Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam on Panguni Uttiram (Uttara Phalguni), a day in the Tamil calendar month of Panguni on the day of the ascension of the star called Uttiram.

In Tamil mythology, Uttiram was in ascent when the chief goddess of the temple, Ranganayaki, a form of Lakshmi, was born.

[5] The Sriranga Gadyam, unlike the commentaries of Ramanuja on Vedanta, does not have detailed philosophical debates.

[6] First he describes Ranganatha as jnana (true and perfect knowledge), bala (strength), aishvarya (sovereignty), virya (virility), shakti (power), agni (radiance), saushilya (good-naturedness), vatsalya (pure love), mardava (affection), arjava (honesty), sauharda (benevolence), samya (equanimous), karunya (mercy), madhurya (sweetness), gambhirya (majesty), audharya (liberal), chaturya (intelligence), sthairya (tenacious), dhairya (courage), shaurya (valour), parakrama (vitality), satyakama (the lover of truth), satya sankalpa (true resolve), krititvam (achiever of goals), kritanganatha (lord of actions) and the repository and ocean of all such innumerable virtues.

The prose of this hymn comprises alternate long and short sentences with many adjectival phrases.
