Large Hammer In The Smithy Workshop Can't Break The Mountain! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Large Hammer In The Smithy Workshop Can't Break The Mountain!



O' Girl who wears
..golden jewel ornament for the ears!
None who knows everything;
..Don't be proud as
you had learnt and gained
..the entire knowledge! - Because,

You know the small chisel
..can break the mountain into pieces,
But not to be broken
..with large hammer in the smithy workshop;
Similarly the proudly person
..may be won by less learned person!
