² Cf. R. Swaminatha Aiyar, POCP. 1919, i, pp. lxxi ff., who legitimately points out that the evidence of Dravidian is very late in date, and these languages probably borrowed from Aryan. K. G. Śaṅkar (JRAS. 1924, pp. 664 ff.) points out that the *Tol-kāppiyam*, the oldest Tamil work, must be after 400 A. D. as it refers to the *Poruḷadhikāramsūtra*, horary astrology, and that the Moriyas of the Sangam are the Mauryas of the Koṅkaṇa, who date after 494 A. D.
