Purananooru - 171 to 180 (English Translation)

171. A Song About Pittangkottran

He will give if we go today. He will give if we go after some days. If we go continuously, he will not say that he has given earlier. He will give and remove our poverty. He will give whatever I wish.. Let his fighting bring victory to him. Pittrangkottran will give the herds of cows and also give the shed of cows. He will give the heap of paddy. He has the generosity of giving the elephants which are adorned with ornaments. He will give not only to me ,but also to all. Let the thorn not hurt his feet. In this world there are a few who give to the poor. Let him live long, so that the beggars also live long. -Kaavirippoompattinaththu Kaarikkannanaar

172. A Song About Pittangkottran

Put the pot on the oven. Cook the rice much . See that the pot of the arrack be filled. Let the viraliyar who have worn ornaments , wear garlands. Indulge yourself in activities like this. Don't worry about anything. If the guarding fire of the ivana guards is put out , let Pittangkottran who removes the darkness like the precious stones live long. Let Seramaan Kodhai, the great patron who is the leader of Pittan and his enemies live long. -Vadama Vannakkan Dhaamodharan

173. A Song About Sirukudi Kizhaan Pannan

Oh Pannan ! You live long adding my life time too. Oh Paanaas ! See the struggle of my relatives. Like the birds which are calling from the fruit trees , the sound of the eaters is heard. On knowing the rainy season the ants are taking their eggs , go to the plateau. Like the ants carrying the eggs, the children are carrying the balls of rice on their hands and go in lines. Even after hearing the sound of those who eat and seeing the children carrying balls of rice, we are asking repeatedly that is the house of Pannan who is the doctor for the hunger disease , near or far because of our hunger and tiredness. -Sozhan Kulamuttraththu Thunjchiya Killivalavan

174. A Song About Malaiyamaan Sozhia Eanaadhi Thirukkannan

Like god Kannan who recovered the sun from the Asuraas, placed the sun in the sky and removed the darkness of the world, you fought with the enemies and rescued the Sozhaa's lost fame.. You are the successor who engraved the symbol of the tiger in the fort. Due to the good deeds done by you, your father has gone to heaven. You have born to remove the sorrow of the people of the world. Your arrival after the death of your father is like the arrival of the rain after a hot summer season. -Maarokkaththu Nappasalaiyaar

175. A Song About Aadhan Thungan

Oh our lord ! You live long. Those who open my heart will see you there. I won't forget you ever. I will forget you when I am dead or when I forget myself. When the Mouriyar invaded south, you are ruling like the sun helping many. -Kallil Aaththiraiyanaar

176. A Song About Nalliyangkodan

The ladies who are playing , will see the eggs of the tortoise and sweet smelling aambal roots when they scratch the soil which was dug by the hogs. The water will be flowing with sound from the shutters. You have Nalliyangkodan who is the lord of Maa Ilangai and who is sung by the Paanaas as your companion. Oh my fate ! There is no worry for you. Not knowing that sweet water which is like the water of Parambu, is available in Nalliyangkodan's place, many have wandered unnecessarily. Not like the days wasted without seeing you, let the friendship with you continue in the coming days. -Puraththinai Nannahanaar

177. A Song about Mali kizhaan Kaariyaadhi

the beggars will get elephants wearing ornaments as gifts. They can go into Malli Kizhaan's palace easily. But enemies cannot go there. His palace has a gate which won't allow the moon light. The forts are so nearer so that the warriors in them get the toddy from each other and drink. They eat kala fruit and thudari fruit. In the Kudanaadu where the warriors stand on the hill like sand heap, pluck the naaval fruits and eat them. Malli Kizhaan will give the pork with the white balls of rice to all those who come. The food which is served in palm leaves by him is more valuable than the elephants given by other patrons. -Aavoor Moolangkizhaar

178. A Song About Paandiyan Keeranjchaaththan

The elephant sighs after trying to untie itself . The horse likes to go out the stable. In the front yard Keeranjchaaththan will request the scholars to eat with him. He has the good quality of showing kindness to the scholars. The braves who are in a drunken state will speak a lot . But when war comes, they try to run away. Then Keeranjchaaththan will guard them and will stand against the enemies. -Aavoor Moolangkizhaar

179. A Song About Nallaikkizhavan Naahan

As I am unable to get anything from others , I have inverted my eating vessel. When I ask who is there to fill it up, many say that there is Nallaikizhavan Naahan to fill up your eating vessel. He is the companion of the Paandiyaa king. He gave weapons and warriors to the Paandiyaa king when he was in need. He also gave suggestions to the Paandiyaa king. He was like a bull. He indulged himself in many battles and gave food to the eagles. -Vadanedunththaththanaar

180. A Song About Iernthoor Koyamaan Maaran

Though he has not enough wealth to give, he has not the mean quality of saying “ No “ to them. He has born many sorrows for his king. He has many wounds got in the battle. As the foot of the aththi tree has many wounds, he also has many wounds. ( The aththi's milk is used as a medicine for the wounds. So the people cut the foot of the aththi tree and take the milk.) Though he has many wounds on his strong body, he is handsome too. He will be waitib\ng to receive the poor. He is the enemy to the hunger of the Paanaas. Oh aged beggar ! If you wish to remove your poverty, come with us. When we beg him, he will show our stomach to the blacksmith and ask him to make many vels. -Konaattu Erichchaloor Madalan Madhurai Kumaranaar
