Sources & Publication Policy

The publication framework separates source-linked publication from directory entries. A page is indexed only when its published claims are tied to an identified source or an explicitly labelled traditional association.

Primary Tamil literary text

திருமுருகாற்றுப்படை

Thirumurugatruppadai

Attributed author: நக்கீரர் / Nakkirar

Repository source: User-uploaded file திருமுருகாற்றுப்படை.docx

Release use: Primary literary witness for the six Murugan landscapes and abodes.

This uploaded file is treated as a transcription or compilation, not as a critical scholarly edition. The published source record cites precise internal headings and verse ranges and avoids unsupported historical claims.

Six Kandar Kavasams — source-container record

Authorship: Must be recorded separately for each work. The Kanda Sashti Kavasam section is attributed to ஸ்ரீ தேவராய சுவாமிகள் / Sri Devaraya Swamigal.

Uploaded container filename: திருமுருகாற்றுப்படை.docx

Important: This filename identifies the uploaded container only. It does not mean the Kavasam works were written by Nakkirar or form part of the Sangam poem Thirumurugatruppadai.

Release use: Source witness only for the reviewed Kanda Sashti Kavasam opening extract.

The aggregate collection and every individual work remain subject to work-level author, edition and completeness verification.

Uploaded devotional text source

ஸ்கந்த குரு கவசம்

Skanda Guru Kavasam

Attributed author: ஸ்ரீமத் சத்குரு சாந்தானந்த சுவாமிகள்

Repository source: User-uploaded file திருமுருகாற்றுப்படை.docx

Release use: Source witness for the checked opening invocation and lines 1–20.

The source extends far beyond this excerpt. The current publication deliberately avoids presenting the full modern work until publication rights and the complete text have been reviewed.

Open reviewed extract

Android app data boundary

The Saravana Bhava – Murugan Bhakti Android app currently identifies 1,373 devotional records and 371 Murugan temple records in its approved source baseline. These counts describe the validated application dataset; they do not mean every record is fully verified, complete, current or cleared for every publication use.

Review status remains authoritative: needs-review and needs-verification records must not be promoted by inference.
Temple data remains time-sensitive: addresses, timings, contacts, festival dates and travel guidance should be confirmed with official temple or trust sources.
Guided Search is retrieval: it searches bundled records and does not create new devotional claims.
Audio requires rights evidence: recorded media is publishable only where source and rights status are documented.
Translations require review: generated or unreviewed Tamil/English text must not be represented as a verified traditional source.

AI-assisted devotional visual boundary

The responsive homepage hero and Phase 18 collection-card artwork are original AI-assisted illustrations commissioned for this website and recorded in the responsive image manifest.

Devotional illustration, not evidence: the artwork supports atmosphere and navigation. It is not a documentary photograph, historical record, official temple image or literal claim about divine appearance.
Temple resemblance is illustrative: Tiruchendur- and Palani-inspired scenes must not be used to infer current architecture, access, timings, weather or pilgrimage conditions.
No sacred text is generated inside the images: the assets contain no published lyrics, mantra text, attribution or doctrinal claim.
Responsive derivatives share one provenance: desktop and mobile hero files are presentation variants of the same commissioned visual concept.

Publication states

Published — source linked: primary-text citation is visible on the page.
Partial reviewed: only the identified extract is published; completeness is not claimed.
Directory review: basic navigation entry remains available but is excluded from search indexing, sitemap publication and the offline precache.

Claims deliberately deferred

The platform does not claim inscription dates, architectural chronology, daily temple timings, annual festival dates or a complete critical edition of any long devotional work unless a suitable authoritative source is available.
