I'd split into two parts the code that computes
quail-tamil-itrans-various-signs-and-digits-table, such that the Tamil
digits are in a separate part.  Then change the doc strings of the two
input methods so that the digits part is only included in the
documentation of the input method that supports their insertion.

Yes, please.

Thanks.
