What the evidence does not establish
A poem establishes its wording and discourse, not historical events, a universal theology, an unchanged identity across periods, or a direction of cultural influence.
This establishes one translator’s rendering, not the untranslated Tamil, every semantic range, historical continuity with Sangam material, or the truth of theological claims.
This is a scholarly synthesis rather than a primary witness or archaeological report; translations, identities, site relations, and historical reconstruction remain attributed arguments.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.
