ABOUT THIS BOOK

Naaladiyar is an outstanding ethical treatise, almost on par with Tirukkural. All the 400 poems of this treatise do not quote any predecessor but intutively disseminate the points original from individual poets. This English text contains not only the translation of the poems but also a relevant comment on each on of them. Moreover this work is meant to be an effective counseling to lead a peaceful, contented and happy life. The comments that follow individual poems are thought- provoking besides critically analyzing them in the attitude of a modern reader.
