Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

Hair over the head, sharp nails in the fingers,
white tooth and the respectable men

who live without changing from the rightful way
...

Said to be the ropy bond of attachment with desires,

Running behind the chariot of likes in many ways
on many things without severing it,
...

If any person exists,
As a person who had listened
what is said in books of virtues,
...

The Chera king wears the garland
..Made up of ‘bees buzzing flowers';
He has the chariot pulled by strong horses;
..Goes for stroll every evening of course!
...

The forehead without the sacred ash is a waste!
The food without the ghee is a waste! For any city
Without the river, the beauty is lost and waste!
...

Even if the toe nail of the victorious tiger,
the white hair of the yak, the shining tusk
of the elephant with extensive musth
differ in their presence from their original place,
...

All the women who are married may not be the good wives!

The women,
who understand the unsaid thought in their husbands'mind;
...

For all the people who live in this world
Surrounded by the roaring extensive ocean,

It is said that the ornaments worn by the elderly persons
...

Even if it is boiled to a very high temperature,
The taste and the sweetness of the cow's milk
Will not be reduced and it remains palatable!
...

For all the people who live in this world
Surrounded by the roaring extensive ocean,

It is said that saying virtuous words to a person
...
