Badri,
The very frist Tevaram I was taught in elementary school was 'thodudaiya seviyan vidai yeri.......' . This is the first verse in the first thirumurai by sambandhar on the deity in Seerkaazhi, also known as Bhramapuram. I think it is appropriate to start with the first verse.

thodu udaiya seviyan vidai yeri or thoo veN madhi soodi
kaadu udaiya sudalai podi poosi en uLLam kavar kaLvan
yedu udaiya malaraan munai naaL paNindhu yetha aruL seidha
peedu udaiya bhramaapuram meviya pemmaan ivan andre

This is sung to the ragam naattai.

meaning for some of the words:

vidai = bull (nandhi)
sudalai = sudukaadu = crematorium, area for cremation
yedu = petal yedu udaiya malar = lotus
yedu udaiya malaraan = bhramma
munai naaL = munnaaL
peedu= pugazh= fame
