Online Tirukkural translations in different languages

[NVK Ashraf]

"அரிது அரிது மானிடராய் பிறத்தல் அரிது
அதனினும் அரிது கூன் குருடு இல்லாமல் பிறப்பதரிது"

I think this one comes from Avvaiyaar....

For the first time ever on the Cyber network, I am pleased to inform the arrival Tirukkural in one of the popular languages of India "Bangla" ("Bengali" as it is popularly called). The first ten chapters have been uploaded for the present. http://nvkashraf.myweb.io/kurban/ban01.htm

This translation is in verse by Sri Krishnamoorthy, a resident of Calcutta. He has also translated Cilappadikaaram (சிலப்பதிகாரம்) into English (published by M.P. Birla Foundation, Kolkata).

Dear Sir,

This is Basavaraj D Bagalkot from Kolkata, India. I am taking liberty in writing this mail to you for getting some info about Thirukkural literature. I was searching for some info about Thirukkural and found a link to you and hence this mail.

Basically I am from Karnataka and now I am settled in Kolkata from last six years and I am into commodities. My father is a retired teacher and he is into Spiritual studies. He has done his Ph.D. in literature of Allam Prabhu a 12th century social reformer. Also my sister who is a lecturer is about to start her thesis about Meta Physical aspects in Sishunala Sherief literature, another 12th century reformer. They both want to study Thirukkural literature as they feel the literature embodies the same human values of their studies and excellent manifestations of purest thoughts. Since they both are from Karnataka they cannot read and write Tamil but they want to study Thirukkural. Could you please guide me so that I can find a Kannada translation of Thirukkural literature and also any English version of Thirukkural. I want to gift them with Kannada version of Thirukkural or if Kannada version is not available then English version.

I will be very glad to receive a mail from you with some feedback, whenever you get some time.

Look forward to hear from you.

Regards.
