Yathothkari Perumal temple is very ancient. It is mentioned in Perumpanattrupadai, Tolkappiam, and Silappadikaram.
Due to cultural gaps, Western translators do not understand the original context of the Vedic texts. The evolution of Hinduism affects the translation of the Vedic texts, often distorting the original meanings. Hinduism transitioned from Vedic rituals to later spiritual traditions. This shift changed how many terms like 'light' and 'darkness' were understood. Over time, cultural changes also led to a loss of the original context, making it difficult for later interpreters to capture the Vedic nuances. Additionally, the language evolved, with Classical Sanskrit differing from the older Vedic Sanskrit, leading to potential misunderstandings. Movements like Bhakti introduced new interpretations, adding emotional connotations that were not present in the Vedic period. The interaction with other philosophies further merged ideas, overshadowing the original Vedic meanings. As a result, translations often reflect these later influences, rather than maintaining the original qualitative distinctions intended in the Vedic texts.
