Although Alvar Pasurams are original songs that have been chanted before the idols of the Lord Vishnu throughout Tamilnadu, there are at present many commentaries and allied writings relating to the Pasurams for promoting the songs in Nalayira Divya Prabandam. The historical datelines of the origin of such Vaishnava books have not been put in order so far. So, this paper attempts to trace the history of Tamil literatures that had appeared for the dissemination of Alvar Pasurams in South India.
