General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Google Books: Obtaining Grace: Locating the Origins of a Tamil Saiva PreceptThis term has signified different ideas and concepts throughout the history of Tamil literature. Aruḷ was cast as that principle of Śiva that spawned the cosmos, and it was widely regarded that only through Śiva’s aruḷ was a soul able to achieve liberation from the cyle of saṃsāra or rebirth.
The term is also found in Tamil Vaiṣṇava literature as well, indicating an element of Viṣṇu that follows for the emancipation of the soul; but literary history suggests that aruḷ is more closely associated with Śiva that Viṣṇu.
The Śaiva nāyaṉmār (“leaders,” literally; but generally, “poet-saints”) employed aruḷ in their hymns to describe Śiva and his exploits. In the pleas for their souls’ releas from ignorance, they asked Śiva for his aruḷ; and when they described him in one of his many mythscapes, aruḷ would designate a variety of activities.
India history and geography
Source: Institut Français de Pondichéry: The Shaivite legends of KanchipuramAruḷ (அருள்) (in Tamil) refers to Karuṇā in Sanskrit, and represents one of the proper nouns mentioned in the Kanchipuranam, which narrates the Shaivite Legends of Kanchipuram—an ancient and sacred district in Tamil Nadu (India). The Kanchipuranam (mentioning Aruḷ) reminds us that Kanchipuram represents an important seat of Hinduism where Vaishnavism and Shaivism have co-existed since ancient times.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
