While "அந்தரன்" is not a widely recognized historical personal name for prominent figures in ancient Tamil literature or history, the concept of "அந்தரான்மா" (Antharanma - inner soul) is deeply embedded in Tamil philosophical and religious traditions, particularly within Shaivism and Vedanta, where it refers to the subtle body or the indwelling spirit.
