From Selected Writings of Sri Chatambi Swamikal By S.Jagathsimhan Nair, Sri Chatambi Swamikal
1) Malayadri Mahatyam while referring to this land says: "By reason of being protected by landlords called Nakas with the sword in their hands."
2) To quote from ancient palm-leaf manuscripts in Vattezhuthu script:- "Hail the Nakas the ones with big moustaches , broad chest, powerful physiques, sacred ash-bearing forehead, hands powerful enough to smash the skull of a lion in one blow, who are masters in martial arts, extremely proficient in archery and use of swords, and so acrobatic that they can spring to great heights and do somersaults in air, capable of single-handedly driving back a herd of elephants."

In fact, in the Sangam and post-Sangam literature, Tamilaham was described as the land inhabited by a large number of communities such as, 1) Velir, who are identified with Vellalar 2) Karalar (agriculturists) 3) Kuravar (hillmen) 4) Vedar and Vettuvar (hunters) 5) Kurumbar and Idayar (shepherds) 6) Paradavar (fisherfolk) 7) Pulayar (who executed death sentences) 8) Paraiyar (who proclaimed royal order) 9) Tunnakarar (tailors) 10) Kadambar, Eyinar, Marayar (martial community) 11) Panar(bards/poets) 12) Koottar (jugglers/wizard/magician) 13) Yavanar (merchants from Greece and Rome) 14) Naga (serpent-worshippers) 15) Vadugar (people from the North of Venkatam hills) 16) Kosar (people from the Tulu country) There is also evidence to suggest that Raja Raja I recruited as his warriors and chiefs members from diverse communities living at the margin of the Kaveri heartland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.216.83.162 ( talk) 09:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

This article is bordering on being a hagiography and we don't do them here, even for saints. I'm also extremely concerned about the number of non-English sources that are being used, which also appear to be offline and in some cases appear possibly to have an affiliation with the man. Of course, there is nothing wrong with using offline sources or non-English ones but when it comes to subject matter such as this there is often a tendency for followers to embellish, to misrepresent and to show a lack of understanding of WP:RS. Is there really no alternative here? - Sitush ( talk) 16:51, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
