Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

To her.

தேவி! நின் னொளிபெ றாத
    தேயமோர் தேய மாமோ?
ஆவியங் குண்டோ? செம்மை
    அறிவுண்டோ? ஆக்க முண்டோ
காவிய நூல்கள் ஞான்க்
    கலைகள்வே தங்க ளுண்டோ
பாவிய ரன்றோ நின்றன்
    பாலனம் படைத்தி லாதார்!

  1. transliterate

  2. It’s quite ironical that someone who passionately sang about his imaginary Devi failed to take care of his own Devi who stuck with him all through his life. Nevertheless, Bharathi was quite a character.

  3. Sesh: Here’s the transliteration you wanted.

    Devi! Nin OLiperatha
    Theyamum or theyamamo?
    Aaviyang undo? aakamum undo?
    kaaviya noolgal, gnyana
    kalaigal vedangal undo?
    paaviyar andro ninran
    palanam padaithilathar

    Krishnan: Yeah.

  4. pls translate…

  5. Oh Goddess!
    The land untouched by your radiance,
    is it worthy to exist?
    Will it sustain lives?
    Will creative arts bloom there?
    Will it have epics, wisdom or sacred texts?
    Wretched are those souls
    who haven’t invoked your name.
