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. In its four hundred stanzas of varying lengths, the Puranānūru deals with almost all the aspects of life on earth such as war, fame, poverty, philanthropy, friendship, education, sense of shame, fear of blame, the life of a householder, renunciation, children, farming, widowhood, chastity and transitoriness of youth, life and wealth. Man- woman love, a theme reserved for akam poems, is the only subject that is not touched upon in these poems. The Puranānūru has served as a repertoire of poetic forms, themes and motifs to several succeeding generations of poets. Some of the sub-genres and motifs that Tamil poetry gained later spread to other Indian languages including Sanskrit. |
