From this stanza, (Puram 166) it is clear that the
word “paarppaan” can also refer to “uurpaarppan”, a person who looks after a village or region of several villages. The area referred to is “puunjchARRuur”.: “onRu purintha iirirandin” refers to “aram, poruL, inpam, viidu” the interplay of which is life. AaRu uNarntha oru muthunuul refers to an old Tamil nuul which explains the way of life. It may be an ethics book. Tamil language had many treatises and grammar books which have been lost. Arya Vedas had nothing to do with the situation and is out of place here.

Other matters have been replied to elsehwhere.
There is no need to consider Manimekhalai here as the stanza in Puram and Manimekhalai may not be of the same era.
As to Saraswathy River, I have given a fitting reply in “Is Tamil derived from Sanskrit?” thread, Please refer.
