இன்றமிழ் நூலிதுதான் - புகழ
ஏய்ந்தினிதாய் என்றும் இலகிடவே.

// This is from Panchali sabatham.I need the exact english word for

" þÄ¸¢¼§Å " //

Idiappam

// glitter, shine! //

If this word ... þÄ¸¢¼§Å ( ILAHIDAVAE )... is ...

.... þÄí¸¢¼§Å (IlaNGidavae)... then it will mean ..Glitter / Shine... as Mr. Idiappam says..

But it means in Tamil...

þÄ¸¢¼§Å = µí¸¢¼§Å (OANGIDAVAE) ...i.e., PROSPER / FLOURISH.

Uncle Sudhaama,
As far as I have read, ilaku or ilanku -- both Tamil words mean just "to gitter" or "to shine".

My Dictionary confirms that too -- no indication there that they mean 'prosper' or 'flourish'

Googling for 'ilaku tamil dictionary' - gave a hit on these sites:
http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_histor...ary/0709TO.HTM
http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_histor...ary/5422TO.HTM

where both 'ilaku' and 'ilanku' are given as 'glitter, shine' and not 'prosper, flourish

Cologne Online Tamil Lexicon - at
http://webapps.uni-koeln.de/tamil/
confirms 'ilaku' means glitter. and there was no entry for 'ilanku'.

The meaning of the word as per the poetrical sense is "Vilankidavae" - Which means "everpresent". 'Elaku' or Vilangu means Glitter / shine / Clear nature / easily identifiable. The root is 'elaku' which means 'elithu' / easy.
