Lyrics : Vaan Sirappu - Tirukkural -authored by Tiruvalluvar who is said to have lived in
Tirumayilai (modern day Chennai) in the 1st Millennium CE.
Thiruvalluvar, commonly known as Valluvar, was a celebrated
Tamil poet and philosopher. He is best known as the author of
the Tirukkuṟaḷ, a collection of couplets on ethics, political and
economical matters, and love. The text is considered an exceptional
and widely cherished work of Tamil literature.
Tirukkural, (Tamil: “Sacred Couplets”) also spelled
Tirukural or Thirukkural, also called Kural, the most
celebrated of the Patiren-kirkkanakku (“Eighteen Ethical
Works”) in Tamil literature and a work that has had an
immense influence on Tamil culture and life. It is usually
attributed to the poet Tiruvalluvar, who is thought to have
lived in India in the 6th century, though some scholars
assign an earlier date (1st century BC). In its practical
concerns, aphoristic insights into daily life, and universal
and timeless approach, the Tirukkural has been compared
to the great books of the world’s major religions.
Kurals are Tamil short couplets, of seven words each.
Vaan Sirappu : Sky Special (Chapter 2 of Tirukkuṟaḷ)
Water is the elixir of life.
Verse : 20
When water fails, functions of nature cease, you say;
Thus when rain fails, no men can walk in 'duty's ordered way'
If it be said that the duties of life cannot be discharged by any person
Water does not exist today The sky does not exist today for anyone
in the world.
If there is no water, there is no world.
Neerindru amaiyaadhu ulakenin yaaryarkkum
vaanindru amaiyaadhu ozhukku
vaanindru amaiyaadhu ozhukku
When water fails, functions of nature cease, you say;
Thus when rain fails, no men can walk in 'duty's ordered way'
If it be said that the duties of life cannot be discharged by any person
without water, so without rain there cannot be the flowing of water

If from the clouds no drops of rain are shed
'Tis rare to see green herb lift up its head
If no drop falls from the clouds, not even the green blade of grass will be seen
Verse : 15

'Tis rain works all: it ruin spreads, then timely aid supplies;
As, in the happy days before, it bids the ruined rise
As, in the happy days before, it bids the ruined rise
Rain by its absence ruins men; and by its existence restores them to fortune

The world its course maintains through life that rain unfailing gives;
Thus rain is known the true ambrosial food of all that lives
By the continuance of rain the world is preserved in existence;
it is therefore worthy to be called ambrosia
it is therefore worthy to be called ambrosia
