## Bibliography

Edited in Srinivasan 1987.

This digital edition by Emmanuel Francis based on Srinivasan 1987. The
distinction between initial and medial vowels, and between Grantha and
Tamil letters could not be implemented with full confidence. The present
digital edition is thus provisional and should be revised with proper
visual documentation.
