On the etymology of the word

The claim of Tamil roots of the Sanskrit word 'nāranga' is unsubstantiated, as no proof or citation are provided in the page. A link is provided which nowhere states the Tamil origin of that word. Even in academia, the Tamil origin of the Sanskrit word 'Nāranga' is just a hypothesis that too proposed by a few scholars. Therefore, it would be better to remove that claim from the article.
