The Tiruvaymoli (Tamil: திருவாய்மொழி, romanized: T̲iruvāymol̲i pronunciation)[1][2] is a work of Tamil Hindu literature. Comprising 1102 verses, it was composed in the ninth century CE by the Hindu poet-saint Nammalvar, who is regarded as the foremost of the Alvar saints of South India. It is the most prominent work of the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, a compilation of the Alvars towards the devotion of Vishnu.[3] It is frequently referred to as the Tamilveda or the Dravidaveda.[2]
