Tamil Temple Myths

David Dean Shulman, Tamil Temple Myths: Sacrifice and Divine Marriage in the South Indian Shaiva Tradition (New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1980), emphasizes the Tamil character of these myths. See my review-paper "Are Tamil Temple Myths really Tamil? Brahmanical Sacrifice, Tamil Bhakti and Hindu Transgressive Sacrality," presented to the Sixth International Conference-Seminar of Tamil Studies, November 15-19, 1987, Kuala Lumpur.
