[2] Written by the poet-saint Periyalvar,[3] it is the opening hymn of the medieval devotional compendium of the Alvars, the Nalayira Divya Prabandham.

[6] This hymn is commonly recited at temples that adhere to the Sri Vaishnava tradition during the morning.

Witnessing the deity's presence, and worrying that he was precariously seated upon his mount, Periyalvar glorified him with the Tirupallantu, wishing him protection and longevity.
