Purananooru - 301 to 305 (English Translation)

301. A Song Written By Aavoor Moolangkizhaar

Oh scholars ! Oh scholars! Oh scholars in the army camp which is fenced with thorns and had noise! The war drum is sounding. You save your king who is the leader of the army, save the elephants having sharp and shining tusks. Is it happens elsewhere trying to attack one who does not come to war? Our leader never attacks those who haven't boldness to face him in the war. So avoid the thought that you are many and strong. He has gone to his palace riding on his horse. He will come tomorrow. He will attack only your leader on the elephant. He won't attack others. So oh scholars! Come out of the army camp and get ready for the war. Ask your leader to fight with our leader. Ask him not to hide in the army camp.

302. A Song Written By Veripaadiyakaamakkanniyaar

The horses ran fast like the released bent bamboos. The golden flowers adorn the hair of the ladies. The narandham garlands were given to the Paanaas, He gave golden flowers and garlands to the Viraliyars and Paanaas. But he went to fight with those who saw him with anger. The elephants that he killed were more than the stars and more than the rain drops.

303. A Song Written By Erumai Veliyanaar

Our leader is coming on the horse to see his vel making wounds on the chests of the enemies. In the yesterday war he advanced through the enemy's army like a boat which is advancing in the sea and killed so many male elephants so that the female elephants wept in front of many kings. Think how will be the war today.

304. A Song Written By Arisil Kizhaar

To remove the trembling cold, drink the toddy and make the horses ready for the war. On hearing the vengeance that he will kill him the next day with his younger brother who killed my elder brother. He did not eat stomachful. He was selecting and making the horse ready for the war. His speech and deeds were not different. He will do what he says. So the enemy's army camp trembled with fear.

305. A Song Written By Madhurai Velaasaan

A young Andhanan who has a waist like the vayalai creeper and tired walk came to the king's palace in one night. He did not wait in the gate. He straightly went in. He did not speak much to the king. On hearing this, the ladder which was kept laid on the wall and the seepu which was kept in the gate were removed. His good words stopped the war which was about to happen between two kings.

காணிக்கை (எண்சீர்க் கழிநெடிலடி ஆசிரிய விருத்தம்)

தனக்கெனத் தனித்தஓர் வாழிக்கையும் இன்றித்

      தனிப்பெரும் தியாக வாழ்வினை வாழ்ந்து

தனக்கிணை இல்லாத் தலைமக னாகத்

      தனிப்பெரும் புகழையே எய்தியே நம்மின்

மனத்தினில் உறையும் அப்துல் கலாமே

      மாபெரும் மனிதர் அவரினைப் போற்றி

மனத்தெழும் கவிகளை மாலையென் றாக்கி

      மலரடி சேர்த்தோம் காணிக்கை யாக

என்றும் நல்ல நண்பன்தான் (வஞ்சி விருத்தம்)

அன்பும் நட்பும் ஈவோன்யார்?

துன்பம் நீக்கும் தூயோன்யார்?

என்பும் நல்கும் நல்லோன்யார்?

என்றும் நல்ல நண்பன்தான்

அடிமை என வாழ்வேன் (வஞ்சி விருத்தம்)

தேன்நிகர்த்த செம்மொழிநம் தமிழாகும்

வான்நிகர்த்த சீரிதற்குப் பலவாகும்

ஈன்றழித்த தாயினுக்கு நிகராகும்

தேன்தமிழ்க்கு நானடிமை எனவாழ்வேன்

உண்பாரோ நஞ்சை உரை (இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா)

அன்னைத் தமிழ்விடுத்து ஆங்கிலத்தை நாடுவது

கன்னல் விடுத்தெட்டிக் காய்நாடல் - பொன்னிழையாய்

உண்டால் உயிர்தழைக்கும் தௌ;ளமுதை நீக்கிவிட்டு

உண்பாரோ நஞ்சை உரை

எதிர்காலம் இளைஞர் கையில் (நேரிசையாசிரியப்பா)

கணிப்பொறி என்னும் கருவியின் வரவால்

கணக்கிலா விந்தைகள் காண்கிறோம்

இணைய தளமது எங்குள பேரையும்

இணையச் செய்திடும் இவ்வறி ஆழியில்

தாழ்ந்தபல் அவலம் தகர்ந்தே மறைய

வாழ்ந்திடும் வையகம் வளம்பல பெற்றே

விண்வெளி என்னும் வீதியில் சென்று

வெண்ணில வதனில் வீடுகள் கட்டுவர்

இயற்கைக் கோள்கள் எல்லா வற்றிலும்

செயற்கைக் கோள்கள் எல்லா வற்றிலும்

ஒவ்வொரு கோளிலும் உலகவர் களித்திட

வௌ;வெறு வகையில் வியத்தகு காட்சிகள்

காட்டிடும் பற்பல கவின்மிகு நிலையம்

நாட்டுவர் காணும் நானில மாந்தர்

இதுவரை கண்டிலம் இத்தகு அரியவை

புதுவகை இவற்றைப் புரிந்தவர் யாரெனத்

திகைத்திடும் விதமாய்ச் செய்குவர் அதனால்

மிகைப்படும் அவர்புகழ் மேதினி யதனில்

மண்ணுல கதனில் மட்டுமே வாழ்பவர்

விண்வெளி வாழ்வும் விழைவுடன் வாழ

எண்ணியே செயல்படும் இளைஞர் தமக்கு

நண்ணிடும் பெருமைகள் நலம்பல பெருகும்

வென்றிடும் அவர்மதி விண்ணையும்

நின்றிடு வார்அவர் நிலத்தவர் மனத்திலே!

(கோவை வசந்தவாசல் கவிமாலையில் வந்தது)

Purananooru - 291 to 300 (English Translation)

291. A Song Written By Nedungkalaththupparanar

Oh little boys ! Oh  men who play thudipparai ! Oh Paanaas ! Drive away the black birds which are surrounding our leader and making noise. I will also drive away the foxes by singing vilarippan. Like me the king would have had this big sorrow. To the warrior who fought for the king , the king gave garland made up of several gems. He wore the single gem garland which was worn by the warrior.

292. A Song Written By Virichchiyoor Nannaahanaar

Don't get angry with him who refuses to get the arrack which is poured in a golden vessel for the king and stands holding his sword. Oh persons having a little knowledge ! Keep quiet.  In the battle field  he does not wait for his turn.  He wishes to go fast and to destroy the enemy's army.

293. A Song Written By Nochchi Niyamangkizhaar

The Valluvan on the elephant announces to start for the war. Even after hearing the announcement , some warriors  are inside the house. The brave men make loud noise so that  all the warriors go to the war. The flower maid  thinks that the ladies who are alone won't buy flowers and goes to other houses.  She  is pitiable.

294. A Song Written By Perunththalaichchaaththanaar

The white moon shines in the sky like a venkottrakkudai.  The warriors are looking  their weapons.  The warriors do not consider whether  they are enemies or friends. They call  those who lost their living days to fight with them. One of the warriors stands  boldly.  Like the persons who afraid to go near the gem spit by the snake, many warriors fear to go near him. Are you asking who is  that warrior ? He is none other than your husband.

295. A Song Written By Awvaiyaar

He fought with a sharp vel and advanced in the battle field.  He was attacked by the enemies and fell down .  On seeing his dead body, there springs the milk in the dried breast of the brave mother as he did not retrace in the war.

296. A Song Written By Vellai Maaranaar

All the houses are with noise. The ladies break the branches of the neem tree. They sing  kaanjchippan. They smoke white mustard. Though there is the sound of joy, the king has not come yet.  What is the reason for it ? Is he still fighting ?

297. The Name Of The Poet Is Not Seen

We won't like to get small villages where the deers sleep with their fawns. I t is apt for the warriors who stood  like the palm trees with vels on their chests to get fertile Marudhaa lands where the hens lay eggs in the bushes.

298. A Song Written By  Aaviyaar
My leader will give the sediment toddy to me and drink the clear toddy himself. In the war field , he won't ask me to first but he will go first and fight. What a braveness it is !
Note: The clear toddy will be less tastier than the sediment toddy. So the king gives the more tastier toddy to the warrior and drinks the less tastier toddy himself.

299. A Song Written By  Ponmudiyaar

There was a war between two kings. One of them was a petty king who had a land which had a fence of cotton plants. His horse had the husk of the black gram as its food. It advanced in the battle field like a boat advancing in the sea and killed the enemies. The great king's horses had ghee mixed rice. Their manes were cut and they were decorated with garlands. They stood like the women having monthly course stood aside the temple in the battle field.

300. A Song Written By Arisil Kizhaar

You are asking for a shield. Can you escape if you get a shield ? You cannot escape even if you hide yourself behind a rock. Yesterday you killed a warrior. His younger brother is coming with anger to kill you. He comes  to take revenge. Can you escape if you get a shield ?
