Tamil composition of the Trinity

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

Syama Sastri has composed three songs in Tamil IIRC: ennEramum un pAda kamala dhyAnam in punnAgavarALi, ennEramum un nAmam in pUvikalyANi and taruNam IdammA in gauLipantu. Dikshitar has composed shri abhayAmbA which is a maNipravALa krithi. No Tamil composition of Tyagaraja is available.
