First published in 1954 by Mayilai Seeni Venkatasamy, Samanamum Tamilum (Jainism and Tamil) is one of the earliest accounts introducing and explicating Jain philosophy, ethics, and doctrine to the modern Tamil reader. It also traces Jainism's arrival to the Tamil region, its growth and eventual fall.

Mayilai Seeni Venkatasamy (1900-1980) was a prominent Tamil scholar known for his interdisciplinary research in history, literature, and religion. Some of his renowned works are Christhavamum Tamizhum (Christianity and Tamil; 1936) Samanamum Tamizhum (Jainism and Tamil; 1954), Bouthamum Tamizhum (Buddhism and Tamil; 1940), Pathonbatham Nootrandil Tamil Ilakkiyam (Tamil Literature in the Nineteenth Century; 1962), and Kalapirar Aatchiyil Thamizhagam (Tamil Country under the reign of the Kalabhras; 1976). In honour of his contributions to Tamil Studies, the Tamil Nadu government nationalised his works in 2000.
