this will be a topic for research of pre tolkkapiyam tamil.any body in knowledge may like to through knowledge

i feel that what iraiyanawr in 11th century A.D..
cannot be discounted for the man had come out late. he might have had reference to earlier text or concrete account of three academies.

This topic is untouched so far.If only some one can come out!!!!!!!!!!

vraghavan:
If you are still around what exactly did Irayanar say?

Iraiyanawr a 11th century personality.He gave an account of three sangams including the periods &the number kings & bards who patronised them.

Ravi:
Do you have a quote or a reference to where exactly this appears?
Thanks.

Iraiyanars kalaviyal urai.

Ravi:
Thanks, I will take a look at it and get back to you.

thank you

In any case, I found some references to pre-Sangam ramayana and verses from it here http://www.tamil.net/projectmadurai/...061/lost1.html
