What Are All Said To Be The Nature Of Duties For A Family Life? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

What Are All Said To Be The Nature Of Duties For A Family Life?

Rating: 5.0


Offering alms to the people who begs
And satisfying what is required for the saints,

Never getting desirous on some others' wives
at anytime, leaving away from speaking lies,

Keeping away and safeguarding yourself
by not indulging in murderous activity

and to give to the relatives and guests and then eat
are said to be the nature of duties for a family life!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'What are all said to be the nature of duties for a family life? ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'aRaneRichsaaram'

இல்லறத்தான் இயல்புகள் - இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

பிச்சையும் ஐயமும் இட்டுப் பிறன்றாரம்
நிச்சலும் நோக்காது பொய்யொரீஇ - நிச்சலுங்
கொல்லாமை காத்துக் கொடுத்துண்டு வாழ்வதே
இல்வாழ்க்கை என்னும் இயல்பு.165 - அறநெறிச்சாரம்
