Agastya Siddha, Varma Sūthiram / Varma Sūtra manuscript tradition (primary_canonical)

The Varma Sūthiram / Varma Sūtra tradition is the primary textual lineage for the name Urakka-kalam and its padu-varmam status. Recensional variation prevents a defensible single verse or universally fixed anatomical coordinate, so the note limits the claim to the named tradition.
