avathArikai (Introduction)
When asked “Alright – there can be different branches/types. But should they all not be in the same language? Aren’t samskrutham and dhrAvidam (thamizh) different languages?” nAyanAr clarifies here.
chUrNikai 40
idhil samskrutham dhrAvidam engiRa pirivu rugAdhibhEdham polE.
Simple Explanation
Similar to branches such as rig, yajur, sAma and atharvaNa vEdham, there is also the division such as samskrutha vEdham and dhrAvida vEdham.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
That is – in this manner, in vEdham which has many types, the division such as samskrutha vEdham and dhrAvida vEdham is similar to rig, yajur, sAma and atharvaNa classifications in the samskrutha portion. In this manner, just as the collection of vEdham is single, in the samskrutha language portion itself rig etc are present; based on the language also, they remain divided like this.
