    Apropos to this apocryphal anecdote about Kamban that Suresh S shares via his "random thoughts": When the poetry is read out, the Narasimha sculpted in stone on one of the pillars comes to life and shakes his head, exclaiming, "Sabash Sabash", Sivaji's Kamban quote from Sabash Meena comes to mind.

    I just watched the movie and there's this scene in which Sivaji gives the pawn broker a good talking down for refusing to loan any more money to his lady love who has yet to repay the original debt: (Paraphrasing) Kadanaaliyai kann kalanga veitha, andha paavam 5 jenmathukku thaakkum, in other words, the job of a giver is to just keep giving, regardless of repayment, lest he risk cosmic retribution (or something like that), LOL! (Idhellaam nadamurai ku othu varumaa, but a man irrationally vakkalathu vangifying for his lover is such a delight to watch. On a related note, the evergreen "Chithiram Pesudhadi" made my day!)

    And oh, you have here yet another enjoyable podcast that clues in even this newcomer to Kamban. Apparom, Ram is all too human ngara vishayam veetla therinja udaney yaaro tumbler-a tharaila potutaanga pola? Such effect only good narration has, illa? Summa sollakoodadhu... :)

    How nicely narrated. I went back to my Tamil classes of recollecting Vaali VaDhai Padalam. Beautiful. I just got drenched in Tamil rain of yours. Good luck for the upcoming podcasts.

    Very thought provoking examination. Very nature of Lord ram, born with atleast basic weakness of human birth is subtly visible.

    கம்பன், இராமன் எனும் அவதார புருஷன் பேரில் கொண்ட வருத்ததையெல்லாம் வாலியின் படலம் வழியே புலம்புகிறார் என்றும் தோன்றுகிறது. இராமன் உயர்ந்த மனிதன் மட்டுமே என்ற நோக்கில் எழுதிய வால்மீகியை படித்து உங்கள் கருத்தையும் பதியுங்கள்.

    Contradictory talks are so very easly grasped and our ideas about lord ram, turns around to analyse impurities of selfish needs. கடைசியில் ஆருயிர் ஆவியை பிரிந்ததனால் அவனும் சிறியன சிந்திக்க்கின்றானோ என்று முடித்திருப்பது சிறப்பு. இலக்குவன் இராமனை விட மேன்மையானவன் எனும் பார்வையும் எனக்கு பிடித்திருந்தது.

    வித்தியாசமான பதிப்பு. ஒலிவடிவில் இன்னும் சிறப்பெற்றியது.

The Legend of Butler Kandappar

Foreword I had intended to post this on Vaikāsi Anusham.  But today is Ayōthidāsar’s birthday and I saw  a tweet by the TN BJP  chief claiming  "திருக்குறளை இன்றைய அச்சு வடிவத்திற்குக் கொண்டு வருவதற்கு அரும்பணியாற்றியவர்".   This, in in of itself is a curious claim. Ayōthidāsar did write a commentary to it from his point of view. But that hardly qualifies as the definitive form we see today ( " இன்றைய அச்சு வடிவம்") I infer what Annamalai is referring to is  Ayōthidāsar’s claim to be the descendant of the heroic Butler Kandappan whose intervention ensured we have the text today. Story The story of ‘Butler Kandappan saving the TirukkuRaL manuscripts seems to have come from Ayōthidāsar himself,  like many others! 
I have not read Ayōthidāsar’s own’s words on the claim but many, including reliable scholars like Stalin Rajangam and Prof.Dharmaraj have made the claims that Butler Kandappar was the one who gave the kuRaL manuscript to F.W.Ellis (via Lor...

A few days back I managed to catch Thevar Magan and, as is my wont whenever I watch it, started raving about it. This time I also managed to have a conversation about it with @kalyanasc on twitter. Following the principle of 'Have Blog. Will Archive", I thought I'd post it here. Oh, the things I do for posterity! @ dagalti How much credit would like to give the late Bharathan? It is also beautifully photographed, especially Gowthami #ThevarMagan — Kalyan Raman (@kalyanasc) June 10, 2012 @ kalyansc I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, (cont) tl.gd/hpiuov — dagalti (@dagalti) June 10, 2012 Credit Sharing - local-flavour I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, which is a remake of his Malayalam film based on Padmarajan's script) reflective all the nice things I hear about him. Moreover, I am very partial to writers. Par...
