Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (natya)Tiṅkal refers to the “moon”, as mentioned in the Kaṭalāṭukkāṭai, which is a chapter of the Cilappatikāram: an ancient epic authored by Ilango Adigal representing an important piece of Tamil literature.—Kaṭalāṭukkāṭai speaks of the eleven dances of the gods and the goddesses in the sixth canto. The eleven dances were danced by Madavi in the Indra Vila (the festival celebrating the victory of Indra). After praising Viṣṇu, four Varuna-bhutas and Tiṅkal (moon in the sky, moving for the benefit of others), the patinoraṭal (eleven dances) is said to begin.
