The Tiny Fine Seed From The Small Fruit Of The Banyan Tree! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Tiny Fine Seed From The Small Fruit Of The Banyan Tree!



Even though the tiny fine seed from the small fruit
Of the banyan tree is still much tiny than the ovum
Of the smallest fish in the pond of the clear water,

When it is grown into a big tree with its wide branches,
It offers wide shadow for the entire big army
With its numerous soldiers, plethora of chariot
With its horses and countless elephants of the valiant king!

Hence the people of small stature should not be
Considered as unimportant, but they may be of
The virtuous, knowledgeable and charitable personality!

நிலைமண்டில ஆசிரியப்பா

தெள்ளிய ஆலின் சிறுபழத் தொருவிதை
தெண்ணீர்க் கயத்துச் சிறுமீன் சினையினும்
நுண்ணிதே யாயினும் அண்ணல் யானை
அணிதேர் புரவி யாட்பெரும் படையொடு
மன்னர்க் கிருக்க நிழலா கும்மே.17
