According to Sri Vaishnava tradition, the composition of these hymns is regarded to have impressed Ramanuja so much that he conferred the epithet Tiruvarangatu Amudhanar upon the author. The saint Manavala Mamuni is regarded to have added it to the compendium of the Alvars's hymns, the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. The work is also referred to as Prabandha Gayatri in Sanskrit.
