'The short and sacred verse') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature penned by Tirumangai Alvar,[1][2] one of the twelve poet-saints of Sri Vaishnavism.

It is written in a Tamil poetic meter known as the tāṇṭakam, in which each line of a stanza consists of more than 26 syllables, comprising quatrains of equal length.

[5][6] In the Tirukkuruntantakam, the poet-saint includes his mangalasasanam (auspicious felicitations) to Vishnu at a number of Divya Desams, the sacred temples of the deity.

[7] Tirumangai Alvar discusses the dependency of own's soul on God to achieve moksha, which he regards ends earthly suffering.

[8] The fifth hymn of this work compares the sweetness of the author's deity to the consumption of sugarcane juice:[9] Like a hot iron drinking up water my love swelled.
