In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Wikipedia: Vaishnava dharma

Tiruvaymoli 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. It is frequently referred to as the Tamilveda or the Dravidaveda. [...] Selections from the Tiruvaymoli are recited daily at Sri Vaishnava homes, often recited at its entirety at funeral services, ancestral rites, birthdays of saints, rituals regarding pregnancy, and at the investiture ceremonies of young boys, known as the upanayana.

Tiruvāymoḻi (திருவாய்மொழி) (1,102 hymns) refers to one of the works of Nammāḻvār: one of the twelve Āḻvār saints of Tamil Nadu, India.—Nammāḻvār, in Tamil Vaiṣṇava tradition, comes next to Tirumaṅkkai in as far as the contribution to Indian sacred literature is concerned. [...] Zvelebil (1974: 107) assigns Nammāḻvār to the later half of the ninth and early tenth century, exactly 880-930 CE. [...]
