Title in ENGLISH, TAMIL : This book explores the concept of the Tamil Veda as canon for Srivaisnavas, a South Indian Hindu community. It argues that the commonly accepted historical narrative surrounding the loss of the Tamil Veda and its subsequent recovery by Nathamuni in the 9th or 10th century is a story that appears in texts in the 17th century. Additionally, this book asserts that there have been two distinct canons: the first one, consisting of Nammalvars Tiruvaymoli or of the four works attributed to him, was prevalent until the early 17th century, after which the 4000 verses of the Alvars became the new canon.
