The People Who Drink Toddy And Liquor Are Said To Be Dead! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The People Who Drink Toddy And Liquor Are Said To Be Dead!



The people who drink toddy and liquor those are
considered to be equal to the poison are said to be dead!

In such instance, they are no more father
to his precious children born with the grace of God!

The wives who have sacred thread in their neck
are considered as if they have lost their sacred thread!

Note:

it is the custom of the Hindu marriage when the husband ties the sacred thread to his wife during marriage.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The people who drink toddy and liquor are said to be dead! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Neethinool' by Poet.Mayram Vedhanayagam Pillai.

நஞ்சனைய கள்ளுண்பார் மனை மகவிழந்தார் - கலி விருத்தம்

மருந்தநேர் மதுவுண்போர் மாண்ட பான்மையால்
அருந்தவப் பாலருக் கப்ப னில்லையால்
பொருந்திய மனையவள் பூண்ட நாண்களத்
திருந்ததே யென்னினு மிழந்த தொக்குமே.2

மாயூரம் வேதநாயகம் பிள்ளை பாடல்
