The Tamil kings of three lines raised me daily with eager good love, and among the languages of depth I lived as the equal of lofty Sanskrit. Poets of clear Tamil joined the toddy and the fire, the good wind and the sky's space, and made and gave me many sweet epics; they gave me many scriptures, and I lived praised through the whole earth.\n\nDeath is the eyeless one: he wipes away and finishes everything that comes before him. He does not look at good or evil; like a wild flood that collects and carries off all that lies before it, he seizes everything that is gathered in the world and moves on. In my maiden season, the far languages that fell on my ear all had their various names, and afterwards, see, all of them have perished! By my father's grace and by the power of the penance of the poets who were before, until this moment Death has been afraid even to lift his eyes to me.\n\nToday I heard one saying, and what shall I do now, my children who are my very life! A word like a killing word was spoken here by one who should not have spoken it. New-made arts, arts that tell the subtleties of the five elements, grow greatly in the West; those high arts are not in Tamil; they cannot even be spoken; Tamil has not the power to utter them; gently Tamil will now die, and those Western tongues will rise over the earth, so that fool boasts. Ah, can this disgrace fall on me? Go to the eight directions, and bring all the wealth of the arts and gather it here! By my father's grace and by the power of the penance of the poets who hold to me today, this great blame will be wiped away, and my fame will rise and remain on earth for ever.","historical_notes":"","kural_adhigaram":null,"transliteration":"than makkalaip puthiya saaththiram vaentuthal\n(thaayumaanavar aananthak kalippus santham)\naathi sivan perru vittaan - ennai\naariya mainthan akaththiyan enroar\nvaethiyan kantu makizhnthae - nirai\nmaevum ilakkananj seythu kotuththaan.\nmoonru kulath thamizh mannar - ennai\nmoonta nallanpoatu niththam valarththaar,\naanra mozhikalinullae - uyar\naariyaththirku nikarena vaazhnthaen.\nkallaiyum theeyaiyum saerththu - nalla\nkaarraiyum vaana veliyaiyum saerththuth\nthellu thamizhppulavoarkal - pala\ntheenjsuvaik kaaviyam seythu kotuththaar.\nsaaththirangkal pala thanthaar - inthath\nthaarani yengkum pukazhnthita vaazhnthaen\nnaeththirangkettavan kaalan - thanmun\nnaernthathanaiththum thutaiththu mutippaan.\nnanrenrum theethenrum paaraan - mun\nnaatum porulkal anaiththaiyum vaaris\nsenritum kaattuvellampoal - vaiyas\nsaerkkaiyanaiththaiyum konru natappaan.\nkannip paruvaththil annaal - enran\nkaathil vizhuntha thisaimozhi - ellaam\nennennavoa peyaruntu - pinnar\nyaavum azhivurrirunthana kanteer!\nthanthai arulvaliyaalum - munpu\nsaanra pulavar thava valiyaalum\ninthak kanamattum kaalan ennai\naerittup paarkkavum anjsiyirunthaan.\ninroru sollinaik kaettaen - ini\naethu seyvaen? ena thaaruyir makkaal!\nkonrital poaloru vaarththai - ingku\nkoorath thakaathavan koorinan kanteer!\npuththam puthiya kalaikal - panjsa\npoothas seyalkalin nutpangkal koorum,\nmeththa valaruthu maerkae - antha\nmaenmaik kalaikal thamizhinil illai.\nsollavum kootuvathillai - avai\nsollun thiramai thamizhmozhikkillai\nmellath thamizh inis saakum - antha\nmaerku mozhikal puvimisai yoangkum\nenru anthap paethai uraiththaan - aa!\nintha vasai enakku eythitalaamoa?\nsenrituveer ettuth thikkum - kalais\nselvangkal yaavum konarnthu ingku saerppeer!\nthanthai arulvaliyaalum - inru\nsaarntha pulavar thavavaliyaalum\ninthap perumpazhi theerum pukazh\naerip puvimisai enrum iruppaen.","couplet_en":"","word_meanings":"\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd|priest, brahmin sage\n\u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd|grammar\n\u0b86\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1|deep, mature\n\u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bc1|clear, limpid\n\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bbf|the earth\n\u0ba8\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd|eye\n\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd|the world\n\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf|language of a direction, foreign tongue\n\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd|my very life\n\u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a \u0baa\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd|the five elements","meaning_ta":"\u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd;

The Tamil kings of three lines raised me daily with eager good love, and among the languages of depth I lived as the equal of lofty Sanskrit. Poets of clear Tamil joined the toddy and the fire, the good wind and the sky's space, and made and gave me many sweet epics; they gave me many scriptures, and I lived praised through the whole earth.\n\nDeath is the eyeless one: he wipes away and finishes everything that comes before him.

By my father's grace and by the power of the penance of the poets who were before, until this moment Death has been afraid even to lift his eyes to me.\n\nToday I heard one saying, and what shall I do now, my children who are my very life! A word like a killing word was spoken here by one who should not have spoken it. New-made arts, arts that tell the subtleties of the five elements, grow greatly in the West; those high arts are not in Tamil; they cannot even be spoken; Tamil has not the power to utter them; gently Tamil will now die, and those Western tongues will rise over the earth, so that fool boasts. Ah, can this disgrace fall on me? Go to the eight directions, and bring all the wealth of the arts and gather it here! By my father's grace and by the power of the penance of the poets who hold to me today, this great blame will be wiped away, and my fame will rise and remain on earth for ever.","explanation_ta":"\u0b87\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9e\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd: \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bbf, \u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1, \u0b9a\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0bb5\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd.\n\n\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd '\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8. \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcb \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bc8. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1: \u0b85\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8. \u0b86\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd; \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1.","explanation_en":"The speaker here is not the poet but the mother tongue herself.
