  <abstract>Approaching the Divine: The Integration of Āḻvār Bhakti in Śrīvaiṣṇavism is situated in the context of the ongoing scholarly debate regarding the historical evolution of Tamil Śrīvaiṣṇavism. This study spans the period from the second half of the first millennium, i.e. the bhakti period to the period of consolidation of the scriptural and sectarian tradition in the first half of the second millennium.</abstract>
