General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Yahoo Groups France: Tamil StudiesAmongst texts of Vaiṣṇava Tamil devotion, the Tiruppāvai is considered one of the most popular and representative of the genre, describing on the one hand with utmost clarity a specific mode of Viṣṇu worship and, on the other, the significant aspect of his omnipotence and majesty. It has been abundantly commented upon and translated several times into Sanskrit. The author, the poetess Āṇṭāḷ, is believed to have lived in the 9th century A.D. The text expresses, as in the case of all Tamil Vaiṣṇava devotional poetry of the Āḻvārs, a devotion and theological conception which predates the development of Vaiṣṇava bhakti in the western, eastern, and northern regions of India by several centuries.
