Direct answer
Why should this unit be indexed name by name?
Hart’s translation moves through Nārāyaṇan, Madhavan, Govindan, Gopālan, Madhusudanan, Thirivikraman, Sridharan, Rishikesan, Padmanabhan, Dāmodaran, Kaṇṇan, and Neḍumāl. The names organize acts, images, and relations across the unit. Recording each occurrence preserves evidence; replacing the sequence with one normalized label would conceal how the poem builds devotional identity.
Passage map
What the translated unit contains
Pāsurams 2967–2977 introduce a dense sequence of named forms.
The sequence connects names to conch, discus, dwarf, Lanka, and Veṅkaṭam imagery.
Pāsuram 2979 describes the preceding set as twelve pāsurams, so the unit is not forced into a ten-verse assumption.
Place and poetic voice
No single terrestrial place controls this unit; any cosmic, domestic, or natural setting remains part of the translated poetic scene.
First-person praise and direct address structured by a succession of names.

Occurrence-level name sequence
Single canonical replacement label
The first preserves the source’s structure; the second discards which name appears where and with what predicate.
Does not establish

Evidence layers
Five kinds of authority remain separate
- Primary text
- Pāsurams 2967–2979 identify the printed unit. This guide does not reproduce or claim to establish the critical Tamil wording.
- Named translation
- Every passage observation is bounded to Kausalya Hart’s English rendering and retains the exact numbered locator.
- Scholarship
- Attributed scholarship supplies literary and reception context; it does not silently rewrite or certify the passage.
- Historical inference
- Dating, institutional continuity, social practice, and material history require independent evidence and are not inferred from this unit alone.
- Theology
- Divine identities, promises, polemics, and supernatural acts are reported as claims made within the poem, not as externally certified facts.

Limits
- The page describes a named English translation; it does not claim that its wording is identical to the Tamil source text or every other translation.
- A theological claim made by a poetic speaker is evidence about the poem’s discourse, not independent empirical or historical verification.
- One numbered unit cannot establish the whole theology, chronology, performance history, or reception of the Tiruvāymoḻi.
Still unresolved
- How do the Tamil wording and other translations handle the key terms in pāsurams 2967–2979?
- Which commentaries and performance traditions give this unit a different emphasis?
