    Great efforts...thank you so much.
    Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain -- of thought and labor. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice -- the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.

    Tirukkural in Konkani

    I just found out that the Kural has been translated into Konkani as well. Translator Purushotham Mallaya of the Konkani Bhasha Prachar Sabha was kind enough to donate a copy of his work. His is a translation in verse of the entire Kural. Given below are the links.

    I have uploaded the first 10 chapters, The rest will follow. I also found out that the Kural was translated into Italian in 1986. Looking forward to get a copy of the same as well.

    Kural in Ceská, Nederlands, Suomi and Svenska.

    The link is working. Please check again.

    The Norwegian language is nothing but Swedish. Very very minor chages. You may be aware that Norway and Sweden got separated only during the 50s. The dispute was over off-shore oil. Norwegians are richer than the Swedish. Culturally, regiously and linguistically they are the same people. Strange is the way of the world. Hope Norwegians themselves don't split further!

    Are you sure? If that is the case, I will promptly move the translations under my Italian section. I found these translated verses from the internet in one website which I somehow identified as Swedish. Please confirm the same, I will promptly move them to my Italian section.

    By the by, please tell me if the following is a reasonably accurate Italian translation of couplet 251:

    Italian (Italiano):
    Come puň esercitarsi nella pietŕ allineare che mangia la carne
    di un animale per ingrassare la sua propria carne?
    Tiruvalluvar, Verses Sacred: 251

    English (English):
    How can one command grace
    Who eats the flesh of others to swell his own flesh?
    Tiruvalluvar, Sacred Verses: 251

    Tamil (தமிழ்):
    தன்னூன் பெருக்கற்குத் தான்பிறி தூனுண்பா
    னெங்ஙன மாளு மருள்?
    திருவள்ளுவர், திருக்குறள்: 251

    Thanks yaar....... Please get back to me....

    According to my wife, who is the one who knows Italian in this family, it is a fairly accurate translation. It's literal and not poetic, but it conveys the meaning well.
