SwAmin, adiyEn is provoked to comment on this. The meaning of this KuRaL is clearly stated by ParimElazhakar who was the chief commentator of ThirukkuRaL. Definitely he would not quoted this stanza wrongly. In his text, the same text is there. But the way he has explained the words, "deivatthAn AkAthu eninum" -- is correct and not as stated by the revered political leader. "deivatthAn" actually means 'by fate' and not the literal meaning 'even by god'. adiyEn shall give the meaning in English:

"Although it be said that through fate it cannot be attained, yet labour, with bodily exertion, will yield its reward."

There are certain expressions that do not indicate the literal meaning. Here, one should go by great scholars and not by our limited knowledge.

We know that whatever happens without our effort is already fixed by the Lord in accordance with our previous karma. It is not done by the Lord as He wishes, as He will certainly not deny His grace to any one, because of His limitless compassion. Whatever happens or does not happen, we generally say it is due to our own fate. But, commanly we dismiss it as 'god's gift', though what we mean is 'fate'.

This is what ThiruvaLLuvar kept in his mind while saying 'by the Lord' which the commentators have explained as 'by fate'.

We should not highlight such comments of individuals who might not have uttered them seriously. In particular, such comments should be verified before putting in writing, especially involving great saints like ThiruvaLLuvar. If the gentleman had verified with the commentary of ParimElazhkar who would not have quoted the original text wrongly, he would not uttered it and the other would not have recorded in a book.

Regards,

dAsan

Dear all,

adiyen dasasya vignaapanam. Adiyen contacted Sri Anbil Srinivasan swami(for whom I have highest regards) over phone and replied which satisfied him. Many others may be having a similar view. Adiyen request all to wait for my next part of this story in my blog and then decide whether to react or not. And as Sri anbil Swamy , do not mistake the posting was originally sent to oppiliappan or andavan at . This is only to my blog " Pullani Pakkangal " . But I do hope that all will agree if I say to differ is one's right and as such Sri Thevar differed from earlier commentaries. To accept or reject is our right.which Sri Anbil swamy also accepted.

dasan,

Raguveeradayal
