Spgm 006 - Oh Monk! You Do It Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

"A ruler, who dedicated his life to truth,
And walked ever on a righteous path,
He gave up his life for a cause
Where upright he wasn't because."

"A celebrated chaste woman,
The praise of the citizens to earn,
And the misdeeds of the life past,
That recoiled became true at last."

"All these show what a great moral!
The anklets here became a symbol
To say on action and its reaction,
A truth to the world of perfection."

So said Ilangovadigal, the saint,
To compose a poem what he meant.
"Silappadigaram, " he named it,
For the role played by an anklet.

Sathanar, the poet told, "Oh sage,
Fit you're to write every page
For the kings, this story do concern
The three, Chera, Chola and Pandian."
