Nālāyirativyaprapantam (English spelling)

Japanese: ナーラーイラディブヤプラバンダム(英語表記)Nālāyirativyaprapantam
Nālāyirativyaprapantam (English spelling)
A Vaishnavite scripture compiled in the 10th century by Nāthamuni, a collection of works by 14 Vaishnavite religious poets active in South India from the 7th to the 9th centuries. The name means "Collection of Four Thousand Odes." Based on traditional Tamil literary techniques, it contains many poems that fervently praise faith in Vishnu. It was born out of the bhakti (devotional faith) movement that spread in South India several centuries after Christ, and corresponds to the Tirumurai scripture of Shaivism, another major sect of Hinduism, and in particular the Devaram, a collection of poems that forms the core of the Thirumurai.
