There are seven paasurams in this Prabhandham.

The Taniyan for Thiruvaasiriyam has been composed by AruLALa PerumAL EmperumAnAr. The composer of the Taniyan says: Swamy NammAzhwAr incarnated in Kali Yugam for showering auspiciousness on the people of the world through the blessings of ThiruvAsiriyam as the elaboration of (Yajur) Veda mantrams. The author reminds us to say Jaya Vijayee bhava to this AchAryan with the name of ParAnkusan adorning the shining VaguLaa flower grland on

His chest. He wants us to eulogize Swamy NammAzhwAr, the author with a blemish-free mind for His upakAram.

Here are the meanings of the 7 Paasurams of ThiruvAsiriyam according to Dr. K.C. Varadachari.
