Varalatru Nokil Manimegalai Kapiyam-4 Vasithalum Pakirthalum Sathanar Marabai Munvaithu

Abstract

It has been pointed out in the previous sections that the supernatural tradition of the Tamil linguistic society precedes and follows the subscript tradition of the Satanic Manimegalai monastery. It has been briefly pointed out in the earlier sections that Buddhism has intertwined traces from Greece in the west to Indonesia in the east and extends from the Bactrian Greek Mauryan to the Kushan dynasty into the Naga Chola dynasty. These will be explained where needed. This article tries to explain some of the traditions of Manimegalai in the Tamil translation of Seethalaichathan, a Madurai merchant.
