Needed a CT reference

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

 

I'm reading Pulavar irA. iLaGkumaran2, pANar,

maNivAcakar patippakam, 1987.

 

On page 119, the author gives a CT passage:

 

pulaimakan2 AtaliR poynnin2 vAymozi

nillal pANa cellin2ip pariyal

 

As is rather a routine practice with Tamil books,

the author does not give any hint to where the

quote belongs to.

 

I suspect this belongs to a late CT period, and

may be given in some TolkAppiyam commentary, or

in grammars on Tamil (=akam) poetics.

 

This quote is given along with TolkAppiyam sUtrams and

several sangam texts' quotations.

 

Thanks for your help in tracking down the source of this

CT poem,

N. Ganesan
