First sentence: Between The Thiruvachakam, which I, on the basis of Maraimalai-adigal's vast research, place in the 3rd Century B.C., and the Thiruvarutpa of Ramalinga Swamigal of the 18th19th Century, there exists a voluminous devotional literature in Tamil which is a record of the pathway to God trod by the mystics, saints and devotees of Tamil Nadu.
