Abstract:

ABSTRACT This paper explains the medieval writing process known as palindromic structure, a face of anagogy that, as far as we can determine, has largely been ignored in literary criticism. It begins by examining the “little verses” of Augustine of Dacia that were a staple of schoolboy studies, and demonstrates how the verses were used to teach the creative process to students of Latin composition. Then, after introducing Mary Douglas's criteria for identifying the structure, it sets forth Chaucer's “Pardoner's Tale” as a well-balanced palindrome, arguing for authorial intentionality by refere

Abstract:

The Prosodical rules should be followed properly in the composition of Classical Rhymed poems/ verses in Tamil and Arabic. In both these classical languages, Tamil and Arabic; there are set of Prosodical rules. In the Prosodical elements namely syllable, poetic word pattern and stanza, we found unique similarities in both these classical poems. The aim of this article is to throw light on the similarities found in these Prosodical elements of classical Arabic and Tamil Poems.

Abstract:

This research article explores the rich poetic legacy of Andal, a revered figure in Tamil Śaivite and Vaiṣṇavite Bhakti traditions. Andal, known for her profound spiritual compositions such as Tiruppavai and Nācciyār Tirumoḻi, occupies a central position in early Tamil Bhakti literature. Her poetry resonates with themes of intense devotion and mystical union with the divine, encapsulating the essence of Bhakti philosophy. Through a comprehensive analysis of Andal’s verses, this study explores the intricate interplay of devotion, femininity, and mysticism within her literary corpus. Thematicall

Abstract In this paper, I investigate South Asian multilinguality by focusing on the medieval South Indian Śrīvaiṣṇava religious tradition (originated in the tenth century CE), which employ Sanskrit, Tamil, and Maṇipravāḷa, a hybrid language comprising both Sanskrit and Tamil, in their composition. Through the lens of translation and hybridity, I propose to complicate the recent scholarship on the Sanskrit and vernacular languages (e.g., Pollock and interlocutors) and also respond to the scholarly call for research that addresses the distinctive history of South Asian multilinguality.

Abstract:

The grammar of a language is subject to change as language change occurs. For instance, the grammar explained by Nannul differs from that of Tholkaappiyam, although both are Tamil grammar treatises. The aim of this article is to explore the verses of Tholkaappiyam that have become obsolete grammar rules. The study is limited to the Eluthatikaram chapter of tholkaappiyam.

<em>Tamil is a language rich in literature and grammar. Many grammar books have appeared in Tamil in the 20<sup>th </sup>century. Literature is based on language. Grammar helps explain the structure of the language. Among such Tamil grammar books, “Tholkappiyam” is the oldest grammar book composed by Tholkappiar and one of the five essential Tamil books is “Tonnul Villakam” from the eighteenth century written by the Italian Tamil scholar </em><em>Costanzio Giuseppe Beschi</em><em>.

Abstract:

Once upon a time, long before the rise of the modern nation, a language named Tamil wandered about in a world inhabited by divinities and extraordinary beings. This was an enchanted world of miraculous events and wondrous deeds, where the dead were brought back to life, and deserts transformed into fragrant groves; and where verses in Tamil cured fevers, stopped floods, and impaled enemies. It was a world in which poets, because of their mastery of Tamil, lorded over the gods themselves, and in which celestials vied with each other to win the affections of the language.

<em>The term "Athiyan" refers to a king who is one of the patrons of the poet Auvaiyar. Avvaiyar's verses refer to the linguistic and philosophical thoughts found in the works of the poet. Avvaiyar lived during the Sangam period and has been celebrated for her wisdom, moral teachings and deep understanding of life, ethics and spirituality. In the realm of Moral verses, (Padalgal), Auvaiyar's verses are marked by simplicity and clarity for conveying complex philosophical thoughts in an accessible manner.

Abstract:

This study explores the portrayal of Indian widows in Malaysian Tamil folk songs, highlighting their suffering, marginalization, and societal restrictions. Widows are depicted as enduring profound grief, social exclusion, and strict cultural norms, including the removal of the thaali, restrictions on clothing and adornment, limited access to nutritious food, and a life of hardship. The verses in these folk songs vividly express their sorrow, with some widows lamenting their fate and others wishing for death alongside their husbands. By analyzing these themes, this research examines how Malaysi

Abstract:

Abstract In the Malaysian-Tamil diaspora, social status is primarily negotiated through language and class. Drawing upon sociolinguistic ideologies of Tamil diglossia from South India, educated professionals describe their speech as high and/or pure (sentamil), and that of the working class as “bent” (kochaitamil). In response to this derogatory stereotyping, Malaysian Tamil working-class youth began using rap as a strategic site for constructing counter-hegemonic linguistic ideologies.

Abstract:

The Tamil poem “Atbudha Dance” extols the wonder and awe of the Cosmic Dance of the King of the Dance. It is excerpted from an ancient South Indian Tamil devotional poem or hymn called “Tirumantiram” (Sacred Mantra or Prayer), composed by the legendary Tamil sage Tirumular. The dates most commonly given for the Tirumantiram and the “Atbudha Dance” are between 400 and 700 ce. Tirumular, its author, is an almost-mythical figure in the Tamil Shaivite (Shiva worshipper) tradition. Many fundamental concepts of this tradition were first found in his innovative text. One such example is the work's em

This particular theme is a favorite among Sanskrit poets, and it is one greatly favored by the poets anthologized in the Amaru collection especially.

Abstract The first four poems of this chapter are spoken by the confidantes of abandoned wives to their husbands’ messengers. In every case, these words are said and then carried to the husbands to impel them to hurry home. Poems 17.5-17.19 are all addressed directly to the husband. Verses 17.5-17.7 are oblique instructions to husbands who are clumsy or overeager, or who don’t quite understand the importance of conjugal happiness. The tropes of the man-as-bee/woman-as-jasmine-bud are popular, almost overexploited metaphors in Prakrit and Sanskrit convention. In poem 17.8, the confidante tells

Abstract This chapter collates references to Ravana in Sinhala folklore, poetry, and topographical and historical prose texts from the fourteenth century to the British colonial period.

All of these poems are from the Tamil anthologies-the convention of mothers’ lamentations is utterly unique to Tamil poetics. The poets of this tradition had a finely tuned sense of how parents fit in with the erotic lives of their children. The first two poems are spoken by the young girl's foster mother (cevilit-tay). In poem 14.1, the foster mother sets out in search of the eloping couple and gives voice to her despair, and in po
