'The sacred and long verse') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature authored 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, composed of quatrains of equal length.

In hymns 13 and 14, the poet-saint teaches a parrot to hail the epithets of Vishnu, and honours the bird by offering her folded palms in veneration.

Other than praising him as the fair lord of dark hue and lotus eyes, can any one describe him in totality?The fourth hymn proclaims Vishnu's supremacy over other deities, celestial objects, and the five elements:[10] The lord who is master of Indra and Brahma appears as the five elements earth, water, fire, air and space, the poetry of Tamil and the Sanskrit Vedas.

If you can remember him through the Mantra, we can live in eternity.The hymns of the Tirunetuntantakam have been interpreted to describe the three key principles of the Vishishtadvaita philosophy: tattva (knowledge of the entities of jiva, ajiva, and ishvara), hita (achieving realisation through bhakti and prapatti), and purushartha (the goal of moksha).
