Summary, etc Set within the historical evolution of Tamil Srivaisnavism, this book explores the period between the late first millennium and the early second millennium. It examines how a Sanskritic brahmanical paradigm and a vernacular, devotional Tamil folk tradition were integrated. By analyzing medieval hagiographies, theology, caste dynamics, and sectarian friction, the author traces the delicate balance of continuity and adaptation that allowed the poetic hymns of the Alvar saints to become canonized within the Srivaisnavite tradition.
