Dear Sri Venkat Iyengar:

 

There are two Oonjal PaadalkaL:

 

(1) for Sri ranganAyakar by PiLLai PerumAL Iyengar

There are more than 2 dozen Verses with 8 lines each.

Usaully people sing 4 of them:

 

It starts this way :

 

ThiruvAzhat-ThiruvAzhi Sankham Vaazhat-

Thiruvananthan Garudan SenyaarkOn Vaazha

aruL MaaRan mudalAmAzhwarkaL Vaazha

Irunaalu ThiruvezhuthtinnERam Vaazha

YEzhulahu NaamaRayuminithu Vaazhap-

peru Vaazhvu tantharuLum PerumAL! YenkaL

Periya perumAL ! ArangA ! Aadiroosal ..(1)

 

 

(2) The Oonjal Paadal for Sri RanganAyaki

composed by Sri KonEri Appanaiyengar goes this way:

 

NeerAzhi niRattharangar adikaL Vaazha

nedu makudappaNi Vaazhak karudan Vaazha

pErAzhi selutthiya SenayrkOn vaazhap

pEy-bhUthan-Poykai mathar pathinmar vaazha

OrAzhik kathir vaazhat ThingaL Vaazha

UmmadiyAr miha Vaazha-vulaham vaazha

SeerAzhi Sankhu Gathai silai vaaL Vaazha©

Sriranga NaayakiyAr ! AadirUsal !....(1)

 

The beginning line of the next three verses are:

 

Thungamalar pantharin keezhp padhumarAhat---(2)

 

Kadimalaru madhkaramumnkuzhalilAda --(3)

 

Kalaimadanathai VaNankiyoru vadam thottAdak..(4)

 

It will be better to have these printed in Tamil

Script by some one familiar with the creation of

Adwani-Tamil Script software. I do not know

how to create that Tamil script.

 

The subtle movement of the various AabharaNams

adorning the limbs of Sri RanganAyaki are

described in Verse 3 by Sri Koneri Kavi

as She moves to the rhythym of the swing

rocked by the Daasi GaNam (Sarasvathi,

VaLLi , Paarvathi , IndrANi and others).

 

Hope this helps as an Introduction .
