Tantrin.—(SITI; ASLV), a soldier; a trooper; a leader of the army; a temple priest; a weaver. It has been sup- posed that the Tamil words Kaikkoḻar and Aṭavi came to signify both a soldier and a weaver on the analogy of the word Tantrin used in both the senses. Cf. Tantrimār, members of the army corps; a class of persons who perform worship in temples; a priest. Note: tantrin is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
