Truths of life said by Pattinaththar

Author: தோழி / Labels:


Either wife or childrens they show love only till they need our help. If they do not need our help they will also show hatred towards us. Has any lovable wife or children sacrificed their life after the husband has died? How many childrens have sacrificed their lives after their father has died? Pattinaththar has told this fact clearly in a song.

கட்டி அணைத்திடும் பெண்டிரும், மக்களும்,
katti anaiththidum pendirum, makkalum, 
. . . . காலன் தச்சன்
....kaalan thachchan 
வெட்டி முறிக்கும் மரம்போல் சரீரத்தை
vetti murikkum marampoal sareeraththai 
. . . . வீழ்த்தி விட்டால்
....veezhthi vittaal
கொட்டி முழங்கி அழுவார்; மயானம்
kotti muzhangi azhuvaar; mayaanam 
. . . . குறுகி, அப்பால்
....kuruki, appaal 
எட்டி அடிவைப் பரோ? இறை வா!கச்சி
etti adivaip paroa? irai vaa!kachchi 
. . . . ஏகம்பனே!
....aegambanae! 

The truth that has been told in this song cannot be refused by anyone. The real fact that happens really in our daily life. If someone dies he is taken to the cemetery and either burnt or buried, but neither his wife nor his children go along with him. On sharing this truth with us Pattinaththar has also told us an information.

"Live with fame, do good for everyone, make everyone as your relation and help them, do not slip from the good ethical codes of conduct. The fame and goodness comes because of this is the only thing that comes along with you even after the death" is emphasized in the song.
