    THE IMPORTANCE OF RAIN

    [​IMG]

    11.வான்நின்று உலகம் வழங்கி வருதலால்
    தான் அமிழ்தம் என்றுணரற் பாற்று.
    Vaanninru ulagam vazhangi varudhalaal
    thaan amzhidham yenrunarar paattru.

    மழையே உலகை வாழ்விப்பதனால், அதனை அமிர்தம் என உணர்.
    It is the unfailing fall of rain that sustains the world. Therefore, look upon rain as the nectar of life.

    12. துப்பார்க்குத் துப்பாய துப்பாக்கித் துப்பார்க்குத்
    துப்பாய தூஉம் மழை.
    Thupparkuth thuppaaya thuppaakkith thupparkku
    thuppaaya thooum mazhai.

    மழை உணவு உற்பத்திக்கு உதவியும், அதுவே உணவாகவும் ஆகிறது.
    Rain produces man’s wholesome food;
    And rain itself forms part of his food besides.

    13. விண்இன்று பொய்ப்பின் விரிநீர் வியனுலகத்து
    உள்நின்று உடற்றும் பசி.
    Vininru poipin virineer viyanulagathu
    ulninru udatrum pasi.

    கடல் சூழ்ந்த உலகானாலும், மழை இல்லையேல், பசியின் கொடுமைக்கு ஆளாக வேண்டும்.
    Though oceanic waters surround it, the world will be deluged
    by hunger’s hardships if the billowing clouds betray us.

    14. ஏரின் உழாஅர் உழவர் புயல்என்னும்
    வாரி வளங்குன்றிக் கால்.
    Yerin uzhaazr uzhavar puyalyennum
    vaari valangunrik kaal.

    மழை மேகம் மழை நீரை நிறுத்தி வைத்தால், உழவர்கள் நிலத்தில் ஊக்கமாக வேலை செய்யமாட்டார்கள்.
    When clouds withhold their watery wealth,
    Farmers cease to ply their plows.

    15. கெடுப்பதூஉம் கெட்டார்க்குச் சார்வாய்மற் றாங்கே
    எடுப்பதூஉம் எல்லாம் மழை.
    Keduppadoom kettaarrku saarvaai matraangae
    yeduppadoom yellam mazhai.

    கெடுப்பதும் கொடுப்பதும் மழை..
    It is rain that ruins, and it is rain again
    That raises up those it has ruined.

    I was surpirised that the world wide web can be searched directly in தமிழ். I went to Google Search and typed in the word
    திருக்குரள்.
    Lo and behold I ended up with a whole list of tamil web pages about திருக்குரள். Completely in tamil fonts!
    The world has really shrunk!

    Congrats dearest Usha and Srini mesdames !!

    You have really done a wonderful job. The act of reading about "rains" in itself pours out the much awaited "rain" in our hearts here in Chennai :):) (its agninatchathram here and the very word about rains is chilling my body !!)

    All the very best
    Regards with Love

    Meenloch, Ranganayaki and ray, from your fbs, i think it is raining here in IL too..

    Ramya,
    Pray for all you guys at Chennai, (came to know that the temp. was above 100 even before agninakshatram-)--to- enjoy the rain at this time, which will bring some relief from the scorching sun..
