About the Book:- |
The Central Institute of Classical Tamil has undertaken the onerous task of getting forty-one ancient Tamil Classics translated into English and other western and Indian languages as these immortal works reflect the sweetness of Tamil, its strength, its uniqueness, its heritage, its richness, and its grandeur. Now we are proud to launch the Kannada translations of Ettuttokai and Pattuppāţţu, ably done by a select band of scholars led by Thiru. R. Srinivasan is associated with the reputed Bangalore Tamil Sangam. The Patirruppattu (meaning 'ten tens'), a collection of ten poems of ten stanzas each, is among the eight anthologies included in the celebrated Ettuttokai. It glorifies ten Chera kings on whom ten poets have composed ten poems of considerable merit. Unfortunately, only eight of these, a total of eighty pieces, are extant now. We don't know what happened to the other two, reported to be the first and last decades. The eight kings who are honoured in this volume belong to two different Chera lines-the Utiyañcheral and Antuvañcheral irumporai. Though the historical importance of the work has been recognized, its literary value has been grossly underestimated. |
