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. Love is the exclusive theme of akam anthologies whereas puram refers to subjects such as war, fame, philanthropy and death. Akanāņūru, also known as Nețuntokai is one of the eight anthologies (Ettuttokai), consisting of 400 verses, the length of them varying from 13 to 31 lines. It is said that this collection was made by one Uruttiracanman, son of Uppūri Kilār, at the instance of Pāņțiyan Ukkiraperuvaluti, who was himself a poet. The poems of this collection give equal importance to all the three aspects of the akam genre known as mutal porul, karupporul and uripporul. The anthology is divided into the following three books: • Verses 1-120 "Kalirruyānainirai" • Verses 121-300 "Manimitaipavalam" • Verses 300-400 "Nittilakkōvai". |
