The Ramanuja Nutrantati (Tamil: இராமானுச நூற்றந்தாதி, romanized: Rāmānuca Nūṛṛantāti, lit. 'Ramanuja's hundred hymns')[1] is a work of Tamil Hindu literature written by Periya Koil Nambi, consisting of 108 pasurams (hymns).[2] It was composed in the poetic style of the antati, in which the last word of each verse is also structured as the first word of the following verse.[3]

According to Sri Vaishnava tradition, the composition of these hymns is regarded to have impressed Ramanuja so much that he conferred the epithet Tiruvarangatu Amudhanar upon the author.[4] The saint Manavala Mamuni is regarded to have added it to the compendium of the Alvars's hymns, the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. The work is also referred to as Prabandha Gayatri in Sanskrit.[5]
