The Requirements For The Learned Persons To Be Respected! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
The Requirements For The Learned Persons To Be Respected!
The educated and knowledgeable persons to be respected
must have one or two followers to praise them as required;
They should be looking posh and wearing
golden rings in all their fingers;
They must be sitting in the large cool room
over the cotton or silk mattress!
In such situation, their knowledge and proficiency are appreciated
even if it is poisonous or bitter like the neem, it is said!
This poem 'The requirements for the learned persons to be respected! ' is a translation by me of a Tamil poem by Poetess.Avvaiyaar'
இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா
விரகர் இருவர் புகழ்ந்திட வேண்டும்
விரல்நிறை மோதிரங்கள் வேண்டும் - அரையதனில்
பஞ்சேனும் பட்டேனும் வேண்டும் அவர்வித்தை
நஞ்சேனும் வேம்பேனும் நன்று.2 - ஔவையார்
