Ranganayaki,
As Villon's original version cannot be understood by anybody today,Linguists have proposed a revised version which appears in all textbooks today and that is found in my book too. I have not touched it and I dare not.
thanks for all your remarks

Mods:
You may consider shifting Post # 443 to its relevant thread --
General dicussions > Is Telugu Language a Camouflage for Javali, Padam & Varnams
where it will be understood fully.

Post #444, which is a response to post #443, may also be shifted to the above thread.

VGV has vented his agony in a poetic form. Hence it iis appearing here. I will move it if he likes to. But then it has to be translated to be moved to to the "Is Telugu Language a Camouflage for Javali, Padam & Varnams" thread. I too share his pain but my tolerance levels are much higher...

What a touching moment, Ganeshkant, thank you for sharing that. I enjoyed reading it, and thank you for putting it up in English. If it had been in Tamil, unfortunately, I would have skipped it, without realizing that it is easy to understand the words. The reading felt good, and I really enjoyed your faithful use of English words along with the "faithfully" odd spellings. That was excellent. Funnily enough, the English words stood out, even though the rest of it was in English script.

Just a day or two ago, I was thinking of this very poem of Tagore's, and I almost quoted from it in some other thread. Thanks very much.

If you can not read Tamil script, I understand, but otherwise why would you have skipped it? Asking because, my problem is the opposite. It is considerably hard to read the English transliteration... In fact, I am still struggling to read ganeshkant's poem, if some one can post in Tamil script, that will be fantastic.

I am with you. It is difficult to read Tamil through the Roman transliteration.
It is nice that PB is posting Tamil script along with the Roman for folks like Ranganayaki.

And he is kind enough to post mine in tamizh script too, at times.

CML,
You all know that I only write ASu kavidai here. Perhaps I should listen to you and post some of my collected kavidais every now and then. Ponbhairavi's translation of one of the french poems has lines similar to one of mine (not that I remember my poems that easily), but this one, I remembered. Perhaps one kavidai a week. What do you folks think?

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 10 Apr 2011, 07:21

I feel bad about all this.. Well, most of the kavithais are (for me) in difficult Tamil. I have tried to read them in the past, and I have always found even the English transliterations too difficult to read because the words are both unfamiliar and difficult to understand. In the following poem by PB:

கொட்டமும் கூத்தும் போச்சு;
. . . . . . . . .குறைகூறும் பேச்சும் இல்லை.
வெட்டியாய்க் கதைக்கும் கூட்டம்
. . . . . . . . .விட்டிலாய் போனது இன்றே!

I get the reading help I might need from the English version, and sometimes the Tamil version clarifies it for me, as the vowels and the t - th pronounciations are not easy to distinguish in English, like the d and th/ dh, etc. So I end up managing to read, but I don't get the point of the poem. I don't understand it. In this example, I don't know what Kottamum, Kadaikkum and vittilaay mean. The meaning of the poem is lost on (to) me. Most of the poetry in this category has a few and often many words that are obscure to me. So I tend not to read, unless, like Ponbhairavi's translation, I have some other motivation and some other support (like the French version)

Ganeshkant's poem uses simpler and more familiar Tamil words, and I managed to read the English version quite fluently.

Ranganayaki.. OK got it. It is not about the script but about the content and you were automatically associating tough poems with tamil script. Understood. I am in the same boat content wise. On many occasions, the meaning conveyed by poems escape me too. Often times, there is a smart-alec poDi in there and if you do not catch it, it is no use

I move on. But sometimes, when it aligns, the payoff is quite good. And that is probably enough motivation for the poet.

मधुमत्पार्थिवं रज: --
The expression पार्थिवं रज: was a challenge and it took a lot of time. It is not prtvi; it is पार्थिवं रज:. With the luxury of having gone through the exercise with several options, I had opted for the earlier expression which did convey the essence, though the meaning was implied.

Now I have changed it to புவியின் சூழலும் where the meaning is explicit.

The following is the Translation of those lines by:
Ralph T. H. Griffith in
The Hymns of the Rigveda
2nd edition, Kotagiri (Nilgiri) 1896

6 The winds waft sweets, the rivers pour sweets for the man who keeps the Law
So may the plants be sweet for us.
7 Sweet be the night and sweet the dawns, sweet the terrestrial atmosphere;
Sweet be our Father Heaven to us.
8 May the tall tree be full of sweets for us, and full of sweets the Sun:
May our milch-kine be sweet for us.

Your translation is faithful to Griffith...

Pl post other translation of the Hymns.
Good luck with your magnum effort of translating Rg Veda in Tamil verses.

CML,
Way to go! Your voice is fine too.
I scribbled two lines of a pallavi on a napkin as soon as I heard VK play. Didn't proceed any further. Your song is lovely. I've to compliment you on singing it without any hesitation--also the rAga kartA who made this possible. The rAgA after all has more scope than vasantakokilsdhvani...

It took quite some time for me to get a feel for the 'Gayatri' raga. I took the scalar approach since VK has not specified gamakas. I patterned my aalaps on what he had posted and tried my best. The raga is quite melodious and is worth explorin further. I found it closer to Bibhas rather than vakuLabharaNam. We will be honoured if you grace us with a composition..
