I have been looking for potiyil (and also for potiyam and malayam)
in several texts. Some have a real basis like the Akam text
that refers to titiyan2. Some are purely fiction stories
like the manimEkalai passages where we see a viJcaiyan2.

To sum up, these MaNimEkalai passages cannot be read
as coming from a geography book.

Nothing unusual! All Indian religious texts are in this
manner alike. May be many world religions' books too.
Best,
V. Iyer
PS: Thanks for your good words on my abilities :-)
