THIRUKKURAL ENGLISH COUPLET
Uniquely translated in English as the 4+3 Word
couplet, a replica of Thirukkural itself by this Author. It is First of its
Kind Translation. English Words are aptly selected, derived from many
languages, being medical, legal, physiological, psychological, merchandize
terms. Eg.Su-jok, mens rea, agape etc. Author's Preface explains in detail
how he has translated Kurals and how the readers could understand this
translation well by knowing the indepth meaning of those words.
The author sees Thirukkural as a university
with different subjects aptly put in 7 x 1330 words (9310), certifying human
beings as Worthy lives. Wonderfully has this been finally achieved in English
for people at large all over, aiming at Peace of the world. Dr.Leonard
Fernando, Rector- St.Joseph's Trichy and Dr.Avvai Natarajan, Former V.C. and
Tamil Prodigy have commented greatly and graciously on this work through
their Foreword and Prelude respectively.
Valluvar has exclusive Kurals for Judges,
Advocates, other Professionals, even for people like drunkards as well. That
is the graetness of Kurals. A new Tamil phrase and a word were invented by
Thiruvalluvar, not known anywhere else except in Greek Language.
Valluvar speaks of E-glands before science could find them, about Conciliation, arbitration, Mistake of law etc.which all came into existence recently. Everything that he could tell in 7 words are translated as they are. Valluvar has one exclusive Chapter 38 for letting us know what is Cosmic Law. 38. COSMIC LAW 1. Knowledge brings permanent wealth Slothfulness empties i t 2. Folly brings losses whereas Knowledge brings victory 3. Revealed knowledge is better Than bookish knowledge 4. Wealth co-existing with knowledge Is excellent cosmic-law 5. Good turns bad and Vice-versa while earning 6. Gain or loss we Attain by cosmic-law 7. Not your wealth but Cosmic-law determines things 8. Destituters become ascetics if Cosmic-law hinders desires 9. Enjoying goodness should teach Facing life’s adversities 10. Cosmic-law designs every fortune We design n one |
