[edit] Origin of the name
The reasoning behind the name "Thenkalai" presented in this article sounds rather unlikely (one can hardly "migrate to Srirangam from the south of India"). I've read (in "Yaar Vainavan", I think) that the reason behind the name is that the Vadakalai philosophy had its centre in Kanchi in the north of Tamilakam whilst the Thenkalais had theirs in Arangam in the south. Do you have any sources for the migration theory? -- Arvind 13:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
