Bibliography

Edited in Rajavelu 2008, in Badhreenath 2015.

This digital edition by Emmanuel Francis, based on the previous editions, showing notable variant readings. The distinction between initial and medial vowels, and between Grantha and Tamil letters could not be implemented with full confidence. The present digital edition (based on a conjectural reading of Rajavelu 2008) is thus provisional and should be revised with proper visual documentation.
