Will The Dirt Of This Body Leave By Beautifying With False Decoration? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Will The Dirt Of This Body Leave By Beautifying With False Decoration?



Will the dirt of this body - which caused the virtuous people
To give up the desire after finding out the fact of the dirt floating
Inside the body due to the food taken at all the time over years,

- leave by chewing betel leaf and areca nut, wearing lots of
flowers over the hair and beautifying with false decoration?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'Will the dirt of this body leave by beautifying with false decoration? ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'

'ய்' ஆசிடையிட்ட இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

தக்கோலம் தின்று தலைநிறையப் பூச்சூடி
பொ'ய்'க்கோலம் செய்ய ஒழியுமே - எக்காலும்
உண்டு வினையுள் உறைக்கும் எனப்பெரியோர்
கண்டுகை விட்ட மயல்.43

- தூய்தன்மை, நாலடியார்
