[3] It is dedicated to the veneration of Vishnu, as well as his forms and incarnations, such as Krishna and Venkateshvara.

[4] In the work, Tirumalisai Alvar offers a detailed account of the life of Krishna, his slaying of asuras, his subjugation of bulls to marry Nappinnai, as well as his role in the Kurukshetra War.

Are you not the primordial Lord of the colour of collyrium who took the life by sucking the milk of the demoness who came deceitfully?It is speculated that Kambar, who wrote the Kamba Ramayanam, may have taken inspiration from some of the hymns of this work:[7] Thou wearing the cool basil garland laden with honey!Aren't you the one who possesses the victorious bowwith which you aimed the darts of clay balls toset straight the hunched back of Kooni?
