'KANDUKAETTU UNDUUYIRTHU UTTARIYUM AYEMPULANGALUM
OONDODI KANNAEI ULA ' -THIRUKKURAL BY THIRUVALLUVAR [tamil poem]
All our five senses are awake
only when we make love...
says this short poem
i wonder why the poet told so
why he left the sixth..to go
the sixth starts it all...
this act of making love.
A lovely embracing TOUCH
the sweet kiss to TASTE
a gaze of love in the EYE
an aroma of love to SMELL
amidst the melody of moans to HEAR
All this is a share out of LOVE
All this would be human only with love....and
that only the sixth can endow....
the sixth starts it all...this love
AT THE END OF IT ALL
TO PEAK IT ALL
THE SEVENTH SENSE 'BLISS' WOULD BLESS US ALL
Excellent reasoning used throughout and the seventh 'sense' - bliss is truly one of my favourite words..... full of meaning and deserves 10 and more - - -Fay
The physical faculties of man used in a poetic images and wisdom..........adding another two to derived from the fleeting bliss offering in the act...10+++
Very passionate. There is great joy in living life to the fullest. 10, for you. Warm regards, Sandra
Go on with other Kurals also...a valuable attempt...God bless you
Thiru Valluvar is talking about practical love making, SLN...no sixth or seventh sense involved there in the Kural...thanks
yes Samanyan. Love is the soul of all senses. A great Kural and you have wonderfully done it in English.
The concept of love is synonym with our heart. Love comes natural and then only the act of love. The act of love doesn't reinforce love but only expresses the love that is ALREADY in our heart. The difference is to be distinguished. Let us have one firm view- that our great ancient poets are never wrong when they have made certain statements. It is only that we do not grasp the idea with our little brains.
