between the Tamilian and Aryan systems of clandestine love has been made.     

     The Augustan or Golden Age of Tamil was undoubtedly that
of the First Academy, when there was no foreign influence of any
sort, when even the racial name ‘Aryan’ was not derived or coined,
when the literary production was in full bloom, when the people
were at the zenith of prosperity under a benign government, when
the social division was based on occupation, and when the whole
Tamilagam was virtually an El Dorado.
