Question:

Which among the following was considered as the Tamil Veda?

Options:

Tolkappiyam

Nalayira Divyaprabandham

Shiva prabandham

Silpaddikaram

Correct Answer:

Nalayira Divyaprabandham

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Nalayira Divyaprabandham

The Tamil Veda is generally considered to be the "Nalayira Divyaprabandham".

This collection of 4,000 Tamil verses contains hymns and poems dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is highly revered in the Tamil-speaking tradition of South India.

While the other works mentioned, such as "Tolkappiyam," "Shiva Prabandham," and "Silappadikaram," are important literary and religious texts in their own right, they are not typically referred to as the Tamil Veda.

So, the correct option is [2].
