Bharathiar song lyrics-Can someone help

Post by kssr »

I want the lyrics of the Bharathiar song which contains

கம்பன் என்றொரு மானிடன் வாழ்ந்ததும் காளிதாஸன் கவிதை புனைந்ததும்

This is a portion which reprimands English education (Aangila kalvi) which deprives indians of basic knowledge about the indian greats like kamban and kalidasan. It also talks about PaaNini and so on.

I tried going thro' end to end, the complete works of Bharathiar but could not succeed in locating it. I do not know where else I should be posting this request within rasikas. Hence here. Would be very pleased if someone can assist.

kssr - you must know that there is a specific place to *request* lyrics, just not Gen Disc. :)

kssr:

These lines are part of Bharati's 'Suyasaridai'.
You can get it in:-
http://www.puducherry.com/bharathiar/

Scroll down the right panel and under
'PALSUVAI PADALGAL' click '+ Suvasaridhai'

Check the 4th stanza under the 3rd chapter named 'Angila payiRci'.

Thanks a ton- Prathyaksham Bala. It is great help. I have decide to learn something new everyday -New Year Resolution!!!! :)

Sorry for posting it originally in the wrong chapter. Thr first two items on this group says, "Do not post lyrics requests here" and it led my search astray as I normally post only in GD and Kacheri review sections. Anyhow, now I know.

Thanks again.
