தெய்வம் + அறிவியல்
Tamil Śaivism is not a religion in the modern sense. It is a working epistemology — a physics of sound (பறை), a chemistry of minerals (cittar), a geometry of the body (tattvas), and a cosmology written in bronze (Naṭarāja). Twelve chapters. One frame. Tamil-primary throughout; Sanskritic overlays are flagged as later, never named as origin.

Opening in a later era
- · Not a claim that daivam or ariviyal is exclusively Tamil. It is a claim about a distinctive Tamil-Śaiva articulation attested in the Tirumantiram, Tēvāram, and the Pañca Īśvarams grid.
- · Not Hindutva-in-Tamil. Analogy · not identity — structural rhymes only, never derivation, never priority. Chapter II's stamp applies across all chapters.
- · Not ancient-science apologetics. Where a modern scientific concept is paired with a Tamil-Śaiva image, the pairing is analogical framing, not equivalence.
- · Not a Sinhala-nationalist provocation. The Mahāvaṃsa is read as a Mahāvihāra document by mainstream Sinhala historians (Gunawardana, Indrapala, Sivasundaram) — see Node · Dossier 09.
- · Not a pan-Indian appropriation. The Nataraja icon is Tamil-Śaiva before it is pan-Indian; Padma Kaimal 1999 is the load-bearing reference — see Node · Dossier 05.
- · Not identity court. Genome, epigraphy, and manuscript custody are used only to answer specific ethnic-founding claims — never to certify who is or is not Tamil.
