    Re: Humour in the Tirukural

    Namaskar ji,

    I ran across one today, and thought immediately of this thread.
    Hoping I'm not posting one posted already:

    350
    பற்றுக பற்றற்றான் பற்றினை அப்பற்றைப்
    பற்றுக பற்று விடற்கு

    Transliteration
    Patruka Patratraan Patrinai Appatraip
    Patruka Patru Vitarku

    English:
    Cling thou to that which He, to Whom nought clings, hath bid thee cling,
    Cling to that bond, to get thee free from every clinging thing
    ...
    How much wood would a woodchuck chuck...

    Sorry.

    On another note, look what I found today:
    I've installed this one - despite the menus being entirely in Tamil (good practice?) there is english translations of verses.

    But found this one too, so I want to check it out.

    And for iPeople...

    Sorry if those have been shared elsewhere. I was just so happy to find them, I don't know why it didn't occur to me to look sooner.

    What has Learning profited a man, if it has not led him to worship the good feet of Him who is pure knowledge itself?
    They alone dispel the mind's distress, who take refuge at the feet of the incomparable one.
