26. A Song About Paandiyan Nedunjchezhiyan
In the broad, deep sea the ship which was blown by the wind, runs piercing the water. Like that the elephants ran through the army and made way. You went through that way with your shining vel, fought with them so that they lost their strength and captured their murasus. Due to this you got victorious fame. You arranged the heads of your enemies as oven, poured their blood as cooking water and put the flesh and brain in it. You used the shoulders of the dead warriors who had worn brave bracelets as ladles and cooked the food. With that food you had done so many battle velvies. Oh Sezhiyaa The nobles who have reasonable listening knowledge , strong mind which controls the five senses and learned vedaas have relationship with you. The petty kings are serving you . You have done several righteous velvies. Oh king having victorious vel! Your enemies are also good in one aspect. Though they died in the war with you, they had gone to the heaven. -Maangudi Marudhan
27. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
Like the hundred petals of the red lotus which grows in the mud, many kings born in high families without any difference . But among them those who got the fame of being praised by all are a few. Like the lotus leaves so many died without any use. Oh our father ! I have heard from the wise people that those who got the praise of the poets and did their duties well would get the aircraft which was not driven by the pilot. Oh Nalangkilli ! You realize that those which grow will diminish and those which diminish will grow and attain fullness. Those who born will die and those who die will born is the nature of this world. You made all to realize this. Though they are the Devaas or others who come with hunger , you give them whatever they need with kindness and mercy. Let your enemies be without kindness and mercy. Let them be without the quality of giving to the poor. -Uraiyoor Mudhukannan Saaththanaar
28. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
The following eight are the big defects of people who live in this world. 1.Blind 2.Born with defective parts 3.Born with bend 4.Dwarf 5.Dumb 6.Deaf 7.Having the appearance of the beasts 8.Born without wisdom. Wise people say that there is no use fom such defective people. Let me tell the nature of the human beings who are useful. Your enemies have run and hid themselves in the forest where the round lined and red dotted wood hens which crow and awake the guards of the thinai fields. You think that it is a gift to give to those who are away from the fence and ask eagerly. You have a fertile land, where the people cut and throw the sugarcane and they damage the lotus flowers in the pond. It looks like the dance theater of the Kooththaas . You realize that the wealth is for securing ethics, money and pleasure. You also realize that if you forget to secure ethics, you will forget you from human beings without defect. -Uraiyoor Mudhukannan Saaththanaar
29. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
Let your court be filled with Paanaas who have worn golden garlands made up of golden lotuses on their barren black heads. Let your broad chest with sandal powder be embraced by your kind wives after praised by the Paanaas. Let the murasu be sounded in the beautiful courtyard of your palace. Let punishing the evil and showing mercy to the good be done by you continuously. You should avoid those who refuse that there is no fruit for good deeds and suffering for the bad deeds. Your warriors drive away the birds which come to the paddy field. They light fire on the palm leaves and roast the fish caught from the back waters. They eat fish and drink sour toddy. They nave a fertile land where there are tender coconut shedding coconut trees. It is your duty to rescue your warriors from living a mean life like your enemies who live in small huts. It is also your duty to make your warriors to give who come begging. This worldly life is like the dancers who assemble in the festival, dance and disperse after the festival. In this unstable life , let the people around you and your relatives be happy. Let the wealth earned by you be praised by all. -Mudhukannan Saaththanaar
30. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
There are many who have scientific knowledge . They know the path of the sun, the movement of the sun, the earth that is surrounded by the movement of the sun, the direction through which the wind blows, the sky which is above without any hold. They know the nature of the sun,earth, wind and sky and describe about them. But you are with so much of knowledge and self control so that even the people with wisdom cannot know you. You have a hidden strength like the stone which is kept in the cheek of the elephant which is to be spitted. The senseless Paradhavaas let the vessels from the sea to the river without lowering the sail and unloading some goods. As they do so, the things brought by them are scattered throughout the way. You are the lord of the fertile land which has such a sea income. -Mudhukannan Saaththanaar
31. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
Due to the excellence of ethics, money and pleasure are placed after it. Like that the victorious umbrellas f the Seraa and Paandiyaa are placed after the victorious umbrella of the Sozhaa which shines like the full moon. It spreads the fame of the Sozhaa fa r off. Oh Sozhaa ! You wish only victorious fame got from brave wars. You wish to live in war camps and do not wish anything else. Your fighting elephants are awaiting for attacking the walls of the enemies' forts so that the edges of their tusks become blunt. They never keep quiet. Your warriors who have won kazhals feel happy if war comes. They are without fear though the enemies' countries are far away among the forest. So your enemies are shivering without sleep, thinking that you will come to the northern side with your army after celebrating your success . They think that you will eave the eastern sea and reach the western sea so that the waves of the seas wet the hoofs of your horses. -Kovoorkkizhaar
32. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
Sozhan Nalangkilli is able to give Vanji where long flags are waving ,in order to fill up the food vessels of his people and keep them content. He is able to give Madhurai which has many storeys as a gift to the dancers who have bent bangles, bamboo like shoulders and beautiful foreheads who praise him. So oh poets !. Come . Let us praise him. Like the clay which is put by the Kuyavaa children on the wheel gets the shape of the desired vessel, this cold , fertile land lives according to his command. -Kovoorkkizhaar
33. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli
The hunters who live in the forest and who have hound give basket full of deer flesh. The shepherds give potful of curd. The farmers' houses are filled with deer flesh and curd. The ladies in the farmers' houses fill up the baskets of the hunters and the pots of the shepherds with white paddy which grow on the banks of the pond. The hunters and shepherds take them happily. You are strong enough to invade the fertile Paandiyaa country, destroy the seven forts and security. You are strong enough to engrave your big mouthed tiger symbol there. So poets are praising you. Your war camps surrounded by the bulls and are near to the common place where the shepherd ladies dance kuravai dance. There the rice balls with the flesh which look like the garland made up of the buds of Mullai with fresh leaves are received by the Paanaas with desire. The ladies and gents resemble the dancing allippavaies done by the artisan go through the beautiful parks. No one go there single. The dinner festivals celebrated by you in the storeys by killing sheep is very fine. -Kovoorkkizhaar
34. A Song About Sozhan Kulamuttraththuth Thunjchiya Killivalavan
There is compensation even for those who cut the breasts of the cows, those who do abortion to ladies who wear beautiful ornaments and those who make their parents worry. The ethical books say that even if the world becomes upside down, there is no compensation for those who forget gratitude. Oh lord of the lady who has worn beautiful ornaments ! Our group eats the rice of varahu cooked with milk and mixed with honey in the morning and evening. We also eat the fatty, warm flesh of the rabbit. We willingly converse with the Paanaas who have frank hearts, in the common place where there are ilandhai trees. Oh Killivalavaa ! You give large quantity of wealth to those Paanaas who are eating good food happily. If I fail to greet you and praise your good feet, the sun will not appear. I am a simple person. I will not do mistakes. If it is true that the good deeds done by the nobles will be stable, you long live more than the droplets shower by the rainy cloud which forms on the Himalaya. -Aalaththoorkkizhaar
35. A Song About Sozhan Killivalavan
Oh king ! You are the only person who has the greatness to be called as king among kings who rule the fertile Thamizhnaadu which is in this earth which has blue seas as boundary and which is spread up to the sky where there is no movement of the air. Your country is the only fertile country which has the greatness of being fertile even if the sun appears on all the eight directions and hurts with its hotness. Though the Venus appears in the south , the cold , beautiful Kaaviri river runs through several canals and makes the land fertile. The sugarcane with white flowers look like the fence made up of vels. Oh king having greatness and fertility ! Listen my following words which are for your good. The justice given by you without any deviation from ethics is like the rain which showers in the expected time. Your white victorious umbrella, which is up to the sky where there are rainy clouds , is not merely an umbrella which protects the hotness of the sun. It is the one which removes the sorrows of your people/ it is the symbol of kindness and it showers mercy. Oh Killivalavaa having a sharp vel ! Your enemies are like the young palm tree which is cut into many pieces. You remember that the victory and the fame which were brought by your warriors defeating the enemies' elephant army is due to the food which was cultivated by the farmers with their plows. The world will scold only the king for the failure of the seasonal rain, the decrease of the fertility of the land and other artificial harms. Oh king ! If you realize this, avoid the false statements, save the farmer community and do good to the people, your enemies will also obey and praise you. -Vellaikkudi Naahanaar
