Fame

24

Pugazh

Earning name

Eedhal isaipada vazhdhal adhuvalladhu
Oodhiyam illai uyirku

Giving alms to needy
Fame others gaudy

Uraippar uraippavai ellam irapparkondru
Eevarmel nirkum pugazh

All fame sung favouring
Those who offering

Ondra ulagathu uyarndha pugazh allal
Pondathu nirpathondr ill

Fame uncomparable that stands
None other brands

Nilavarai neelpugazh aatrin pulavarai
Potradhu puththel ulagu

Fame spread earth boundary
God becomes secondary

Naththampol kedum ulathagum saakkadu
Viththagarku allal aridhu

Fame frame grows such
Even dead much

Thondrin pugazhodu thondruga agdhillar
Thondralin thondramai nandru

Come on earth fame
Other not shame

Pugazhpada vaazhadhar thamnovar thammai
Igazhvarai novadhu evan

Blaming those with fame
Not knowing shame

Vasaienba vaiyatharku ellam isaiennum
Echam pera vidin

Permanent fame not gotten
He remains rotten

Vasayila vanpayan kundrm isaiila
Yakkai porutha nilam

Land that unfame bears
Barren it rears

Vasaiozhiya vazhvaray vazhvar isaiozhiya
Vazhvaray vazha thavar

Blotless live others dead
Sans fame thread
