Purananooru - 71 to 100 (English Translation)

71. A Song Written By Ollaiyoor Thandha Poodhappaandiyan

The kings will come to fight with me like the angry lions. I will make them to run back with their chariots. If I fail to do this, I will be separated from my wife who has ink smeared , big eyes. In the righteous courtyard ,believing the sayings of a person who does not know righteousness, let me do injustice. Let me loose the friendship of Maavan(The king of Maiyal), Aandhai(the king of Eyil),Andhuvanjchaaththan, Aadhanazhisi and furious Iyakkan. Let me guard mean, barren houses. Let me born as one who do mean jobs.

72. A Song Written By Thalaiyaalangkaanaththu Seruvendra Paandiyan Nedunjchezhiyan

The enemies said “those who praise his country are laughable. He who rules the country is too young.” Not knowing my strength they said that they had big elephants, chariots, horses and warriors. They told unbearable words which made me angry. I will fight with them so that they run away in fear. If I do not do like that let the people under the shadow of my white umbrella shed tears and say that our king is a cruel king. Let the poets having great fame and scholarship like Maangudi Marudhan not sing my land. Let my relatives get poverty. Let me get poverty so that I cannot give to the poor.

73. A Song Written By Sozhan Nalangkilli

If the enemies come slowly, touch my feet and beg, I will easily give my kingdom which has a great murasu. I will even give my sweet life. Due to their strength , if they insult my strength they cannot escape from me like the blind who stuck the sleeping tiger. Like the bamboo which is under the feet of the elephant is got crushed, I will destroy them. If I do not do this , let my garland be on the body of the lady who does not have real love.

74. A Song Written By Seran Kanaikkal Irumporai

If the child born dead , or if the baby which is not matured and which has no shape born, the braves cut them with sword and then only bury. Being dragged with chains, like a dog, by the enemies, it is shame to drink the water and quench the thirst. If one person does this without will power, no one will wish to give birth to such a person.

75. A Song Written By Sozhan Nalangkilli

To the king who demands heavy tax from his people as he got the right to rule as his elders passed away, the ruling will be a burden. If the ruling comes to those who have strength , it will be easy like the white netti sticks which are in the dried pond. The wealth of the king who has high white umbrella and war drum will be soft and weightless like the dried twigs.

But it is new to the world that Paandiyan Nedunjchezhiyan who has worn the leaves of the neem tree together with uzhingai flowers stood alone and defeated Seran, Sozhan and five Velirs who came to fight with him not knowing his strength.

Who is the young brave man who has removed kinkini and has worn shining kazhal? He has worn the tender leaves of the neem tree together with uzhingai flowers on the hair removed head. He stands on the chariot making it beautiful. He has a bow in his hand from which the bangles are removed. Who ever he may be, let him live long. He has worn kanni on his head and garland on his chest. He has not removed the thaali. He has not drink milk and has taken food today only. Though he is so young, he does not afraid or wonder on seeing the enemies who come continuously. He does not feel happy on catching and killing them so that their crying sound echoes in the sky. He does not feel proud also. -Idaikkundroor Kizhaar

Let the village also suffer like me. -Perungkozhi Naickkan Mahal Nakkannaiyaar

Though my lord is in poverty so that he eats porridge, he has big shoulders which make the enemies fear.

86. A Song Written By Kaavarpendu

As the swords destroyed the forts of the enemies and pierced the bodies of the enemies, they lost their beauty due to damage. As Adhiyan's vels went through the forts of the enemies and destroyed the forests which had sweet toddy, they lost their good appearance. As his fighting elephants dash against the strong doors and killed the elephants of the enemies, they lost their poons which covered their tusks. As his horses ran over the chests of the enemies, their hoofs had blood stain. He stood with his shield which was pierced by arrows and he had worn golden thumbai garland. Those who become the enemies of Nedumaan Anji cannot live. If you wish your fertile land is to be yours, you go and pay the tribute.

On seeing your vel which has pierced the chests of your enemies, they make new handles and leather covers for their shields. Knowing your warriors strength, they put their arrows in the aavam.

Purananooru - 61 to 70 (English Translation)

61. A Song About Sozhan Ilavandhigaippalli Thunjchiya Nalangkilli Setchchenni

The farm maids have tied up hair adorned with cold leaves. They weed out aambal plants and neidhal plants which grow among the crops. In the fertile field the malangu fishes are squirming. The farmers eat vaalai fish curry with rice stomachful. They amaze where to store the paddy ears. The small headed children of the strong handed farmers do not like to eat coconuts. They climb up the heap of paddy and try to pluck the palm fruits. Setchchenni has long hand with vel and has beautiful chariot. His fertile land has new income everyday. He has worn colourful garlands which look like rainbows on his chest. Those who come to fight against him know their end. We don't see those who fight against him who has pillar like shoulders escape and live. Like that, we also don't see those who obey him suffer. -Madhurai Kumaranaar

62. A Song About Seran Kudakko Nedunjcheralaadhan And Sozhan Perunarkkilli

It is very ignorant to think that we will get victory in the coming war. The black devil dig the wound of the dead warriors and stroke their hair with their blood stained hands and hear the mild sound of the drum played by the ladies. The eagles will be circling to eat the dead bodies. In this cruel war both the kings who fought died. Their white umbrellas fell down. The victorious drums perished. The army camps which were filled with warriors became empty. The war which frightened those who saw ended like this. The ladies who lost their husbands in the war did not eat even greens. They did not bathe . They laid down embracing the dead bodies of their husbands. The warriors fought in such a way so that they became the guests of heaven where there are Suraas who have garlands which do not dry, eyes which do not wink and amudham as their food. Oh warriors ! Let your fame live. -Kazhaaththalaiyaar

63. A Song About Seran Kudakko Nedunjcheralaadhan and Sozhan Perunarkkilli

So many elephants died by attacked with arrows. The horses having victorious fame died with their warriors. The chariot warriors died as their shields hid their eyes. The black faced victorious drum which was covered with the leather of the bull which was not shaved laid without players. The vels pierced the sandal applied chests of the two great kings and they were dead. There is nothing more to worry about. Their fertile land has vast places where the ladies who had worn bangles made up of the stem of aambal plant ate rice flakes and played in the water. These two lands were perished due to the war. -Paranar

64. A Song About Paandiyan Palyaahasalai Mudhukudumi Peruvazhudhi

Oh Virali wearing a few bangles ! Start with your yaazh, parai and muzhavu. In the vast army camp where herds of elephants are fighting, there is the flesh of the enemies which stop the eagles from going up. Let us go and see Mudhukudumi Peruvazhudhi who fought against the enemies and had great fame. On seeing him we can leave this mean life of eating gruel. -Nedumpalliyaththanaar

65. A Song About Seramaan Perunjcheralaadhan

The muzhavus lost being pasted with soil. The yaazhs forgot music. The broad , big pots laid without persons who chyrn curd as there was no milk. Without drinking honey the relatives were bverysad. There was not the farmers' ploughing sound. It was why that village had lost its festive beauty. On the full moon day, though the moon and the sun appear in the east and west, the sun sets in the mountain in the evening. Like the disappearance of the sun , the brave king felling shame sat with his sword and left his life as he had got wound on his back. So for us who live without him, the day too will not pass sweetly. -Kazhaaththalaiyaar

66. A Song About Karikaal Peruvalaththaan

Oh successor of those who sailed in the vast sea knowing the nature of the wind ! Oh Karikaal Valavaa having big elephant army ! You have succeeded in the war showing your strength. But your enemy who left his life in the Venni battle field feeling shame for the wound on his back and got great fame is better than you who succeeded in the war. -Vennikkuyaththiyaar

67. A Song About Kopperunjchozhan

Oh male annam ! Oh male annam ! The full moon is shining in the country of the king who gets success in wars. In this evening I am suffering alone. You have eaten the ayirai fish in the Kumari and going to the Himalayas. If you go to the Sozhanaadu on your way, you stay in the high storey of the Uraiyoor with your young mate. You go through the entrance and enter into the palace. You tell to Kopperunjchozhan that you are the servant of Aandhaiyaar of Pisir. If you say like that, he will give many good ornaments for your mate to wear. -Pisir Aandhaiyaar

68. A Song About Sozhan Nalangkilli

Oh Paanaa ! You are playing your yaazh and singing a song which can be enjoyed by a few. You don't see people who quench your relatives' cruel hunger who are like the skeleton of the monitors. What are you doing here ? The Sozha king obeys the soft ladies who wear golden jewels on their chests, but he controls the strong men. Like the milk that springs in the mother's breast when the child sucks, the river Kaaviri flows in the Sozhanaadu. It has no inner enmity. There is no enmity due to the bad omens of the birds. So the enemies decided to fight in between themselves and to die. As they drove the chariot beating the drums, the drunkards' trembling hands make the toddy spilt on the ground. The spilt toddy makes the soil muddy. On hearing the sound of the drum, the elephants without mahouts stand in the mud to fight. Our noble king has braveness. He lives in Uraiyoor. You go to him. He is the only one who can give much wealth so that you need not go others' houses and sing. -Kovoorkkizhaar

69. A Song About Sozhan Kulamuttraththu Thunjchiya Killivalavan

Oh Paanaa having perfectly made yaazh ! You have cruel hunger which cannot be quenched in your stomach. You are wearing rags, which is wet by sweat, on your waist. You are wandering throughout the world with your relative who are suffering due to poverty. If you come near me and ask me who will remove this poverty, I will tell you. Fighting elephants suffer because of the wound. In the army camp with flags, elephants are killed. Sozhan Killivalavan has a strong army. He is the lord of Uraiyoor. He is having the vel for fighting . He has the nature of attacking enemy countries. He has worn shining jewels which shine like fire. If you reach his high gate way, you need not wait there. There Killivalavan will be giving chariots to the beggars throughout the day. Certainly you will get golden lotus as gift. So you go to him to get rid of your poverty. -Aalandhoor Kizhaar

70. A Song About Sozhan Kulamuttraththu Thunjchiya Killivalavan

Oh Paanaa having a small yaazh which sounds as sweet as honey ! You are saying to me to stay here for some time and take rest hearing the udukkai which looks like a tortoise pierced with an arrow. Like the cold pond water in the month of Thai, the big city has food which does not decrease even it is taken again and again. This city knows the fire which is used to cook. It does not know the fire which will destroy. Killivalavan produces two kinds of medicines . i. e food and water. The beetles blow the white aambal buds. You go with the smiling Virali who has beautiful forehead and paadhiri smelling hair who lives in Pannan's hut who is a patron. If you go like that , you will get much wealth. It is not the treasure which is found by a person who has gone to bring fire wood. You need not doubt if you will get. It is certain that he will give. You will get it certainly. So go and get the gift. Let his fame live long. -Kovoor Kizhaar

Thirumaal has a beautiful body like the pure sapphire and has an eagle flag. Murugan has a rooster flag and a victorious vel. He has a peacock as his vehicle. Among these four gods , you are like Siva in anger, Balaraaman in strength , Thirumaal in fame and Murugan in finishing what you wish. As you are like the god for that action, there is nothing impossible for you. You are giving valuable jewels to those who come to you with a desire to get gifts. Oh Maaraa having victorious fame ! You drink the wine imported from Greece daily.It is served in golden cups by beautiful ladies. Like the red sun which drives away darkness from the beautiful sky and the crescent moon which appears in the west you long live with stable fame. -Madhurai Kanakkaayanaar Mahanaar Nakkeerar

57. A Song About Paandiyan Ilavandhigaippalli Thunjchiya Nanmaaran

Though they are illiterate or scholars, you save them who praise you like Thirumaal. Oh Maaraa ! You have plenty of fame which cannot be told. I will tell you one. Let your warriors take the yield of your enemies' fields. Let them destroy their big towns by lighting fire. Let your vel, which shines like the lightning, kill your enemies. But you don't cut down the guarding trees because they are tender trees. They are not useful to tie up your strong elephants. -Kaavirippoompattinaththu Kaarikkannanaar

58. A Song About Kuraappalli Thunjchiya Perundhthirumaavalavan And velliyambalaththu Thunjchiya Peruvazhudhi

Oh Sozhaa king ! You are the lord of Kaaviri which has cold water. Paandiyaa king is like a young bull of the Paandiyaa dynasty. He did not loose his heart as his ancestors had passed away. He saved the fame of his dynasty like the prop root of the banyan tree which supports it when its foot has completely perished. Like the thunder which kills the snakes, he destroyed his enemies in his young age. Oh Sozhaa king ! You are the king of Uraiyoor where righteousness grows. Paandiyaa rules multi storeyed Madhurai. There paddy and water are easily available to everybody. In Madhurai there ae rarely available Podhigai sandal and Korkkai pearls. He is ruling Madhurai where three kinds of drums are sounding and where Thamizh is growing. If you both who have strength be together like this, the enemies will afraid. There is no other scene sweeter than this. If you both sit together , it will resemble Balaraaman who has milk like colour and palm tree flag and Thirumaal who has sapphire like colour, sitting together. Listen to me. Let your fame live long. Let you be helpful to each other. If you both stood like this, the world which is surrounded by the sea having sounding waves will be yours. You go in the righteous path. You stand in favour of justice. You keep good characters established by nobles. You don't listen to the evils' words which will bring enmity among you. Let your friendship be like today. Let your vels get fame because of your victories in the wars. Let the enemies' countries which have hills have the symbol of the tiger which has bent lines and the symbol of the fish which lives in water. -Kaavirippoompattinaththu Kaarikkannanaar

59. A Song About Siththira Maadaththu Thunjchiya Nanmaaran

Oh Paandiyaa king having beautiful chest with long pearl garlands and long hands which touch the knees ! You are so strong in showing kindness. You never know to speak lie. You are like the hot sun which rises fron the sea to your enemies, but you are like the cold moon to the poets like us. -Madhurai Koolavaanihan Seeththalai Saaththanaar

60. A Song About Sozhan Thirumaavalavan

The red star shines in the sky as the light which is lighted in the boat in the sea. On seeing the full moon the peacocks dance joyfully. I and the Virali, who has worn some bangles , who were coming through the forest way saw the full moon and worshiped it several times. Our lord Sozhan Thirumaavalavan is like a bull which is capable of pulling a salt loaded cart from the seashore to a mountain land. He has victorious drum and sword. We worshiped the full moon thinking that it is the white umbrella erected by the Sozhaa to hide the sun. Now we are seeing his white umbrella. It is not necessary to tell us to worship it. -Uraiyoor Maruththuvan Dhaamodharan
