<strong>Nannery</strong><br />
<br />
By Thuraimangalam Sivaprakasa Munivar</div>
<div align="center" style="color: purple; text-align: center;">
<strong>Obeisance to God</strong></div>
<div align="center" style="color: purple; text-align: center;">
Worshipping at the feet of God
Vinayagar<br />
will bring forth the forty poems of Nannery</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
1 .</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br />
Good men will reach out and help the needy,<br />
Even to those who had never met them before.<br />
For, does the hand that carry food to the mouth<br />
expect it to be praised by the tongue?</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
2<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The harsh words spoken by men of good-will is pleasing,<br />
But even the pleasant words by men of ill-will turn sour.<br />
For the stone aimed at the Lord with love turned into flowers,<br />
While the flower aimed at the Lord by Kaman was rejected.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
3<br />
If one wishes to extract any help<br />
from those who do not wish to give,<br />
Then, like a calf is used to milk a cow<br />
Use someone who could make him relent.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
4.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The wealth of those who do not give to charity<br />
will end up in the hands of those who give.<br />
The salty water in the sea not of much use<br />
Is fetched by the clouds and delivered as rain.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
5.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The rice when parted from the husk that covers it<br />
Loses its ability to grow even when put together again.<br />
Similarly a friendship however long it had been going<br />
Once falls apart will not regain its previous strength.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
6<br />
The loving wife and her devoted husband<br />
should always act with the same aim in life.<br />
For, the two eyes in a face though separate<br />
both see only one object at the same time.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
7<br />
Even when one possess a vast sea of knowledge<br />
It should not give way to pride like that of a lion.<br />
For even the vast sea was picked up in his hands<br />
and drunk by Agasthiar, the king of the sages.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
8<br />
It is easy to break the bund to let the water flow<br />
than building a bund to hold the flood water in.<br />
One should control one’s anger than letting it flare<br />
Only then can he be called a man of good character.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
9<br />
The weak will not have a fear of the strong<br />
When the weak has men of power as their allies.<br />
For the cobra sitting on the matted hair of the Lord<br />
Does not fear its enemy, the Garuda, king of birds.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
10.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The good people though themselves suffer poverty<br />
will seek to help those poorer than themselves.<br />
Like the moon though has a shadow on its surface<br />
It still shines at night to offer light to this world</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
11.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The storm can only throw around small items,<br />
Can it ever move a heavy pillar of granite?<br />
The pleasures of the five senses can sway only the weak<br />
It cannot make headway with people of strong will.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
12.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Is there any surprise if water leaks<br />
From a pot that is full of holes.<br />
Likewise the surprise is not how one loses his life<br />
but how it stays in this diseased body of nine holes.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
13<br />
The people of kind heart will give to others<br />
based on the rise and fall of their income.<br />
For the light shone on the earth by the moon<br />
varies with the waxing and waning of its phase.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
14.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Oh lady, wearing flowers with buzzing bees, listen!<br />
The wise will not be arrogant because they know that<br />
the wealth into which they had born may one day go.<br />
For even Mount Meru was once made to go under.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
15<br />
What is the use of everything a man could possess<br />
If he does not have the love of those around him.<br />
What use is there for books to an illiterate man<br />
and what use is a lamp for the blind.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
16<br />
Like the vast sea that fills small pools to make salt,<br />
Noble men at the top of society will not fail<br />
to reach out to help those who are less well off<br />
Despite the position and status they are in.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
17.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The banana tree gets destroyed once it yields its fruits.<br />
This does not stop its sapling from doing the same.<br />
A son whose father became poor by giving to charity<br />
Will not refuse to give for giving is all that he knows.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
18<br />
The sea does not swell by the heat of the sun,<br />
But rises to welcome the cool rays of the moon.<br />
Similarly, the world rejoices at hearing pleasant words<br />
But is not happy to hear when harsh words are spoken.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
19<br />
The spring season brings new shoots in a mango tree<br />
But it suffers from the hot wind that blows in summer.<br />
The host smiles at the arrival of descent guests<br />
But this turns to worry when the opposite kind comes</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
20<br />
<br />
.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
When other organs of the body suffers from illness<br />
The eyes weep as if it was they that suffer the pain.<br />
Similarly, when decent men see other people suffer<br />
They feel the sufferings of others as their own.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
21<br />
The learning of those who lack knowledge in grammar<br />
is exposed as inadequate in the presence of the experts.<br />
It is like the mighty river Ganges hiding itself<br />
When it reaches our Lord’s crown of hair.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
22.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
No one rejects the gem stone guarded by a snake<br />
Or drinks from the sea because it is vast.<br />
A person should be judged only by his wisdom<br />
And not by the class into which he is born.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
23<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
When ants crawl along a path long enough<br />
Even a rock will be etched with its route<br />
The presence of a woman if long continued<br />
Will make even a sage to lose his resolve.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
24.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Though a man has both good and bad qualities in him<br />
The people of low mentality will only speak of the bad<br />
It is like the bees while they seek the sweet nectar<br />
The crows go for the bitter fruits of the Margosa tree.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
25.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
When a heavy object is loaded on to a float<br />
The load appears as if it is floating on water.<br />
The learned if they associate with the fools<br />
They too will be made to appear like fools.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
26<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span style="font-family: Latha;"></span></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
A learned man cannot be judged by his stature<br />
For his knowledge may extend far beyond<br />
The sun cannot be judged by what we can see<br />
For its rays can reach far beyond what we see.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
27<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span style="font-family: Latha;"></span></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The learned will undergo hardship to help the needy<br />
Without seeking gratitude in return for that help.<br />
Like the teeth that chew up the hard bits in the food<br />
Without any thanks from the tongue that enjoys it.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
28<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The learned will help others even if they are angry<br />
The illiterate will not help even when they are happy<br />
The banana fruit can be eaten, even when unripe<br />
Can the Eddi fruit be of any use even when ripe?</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
29.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The devotee who carries the supreme Lord in his heart<br />
Will not fear the pains those are piled on his body.<br />
For the deer that appears on the moon’s surface<br />
Does not fear the tiger that roams on this earth.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
30<br />
It is better to redeem yourself by performing charity<br />
Before the Lord of Death appears to take your life.<br />
Can there be any use trying to stop the rush of water<br />
If no bund had been built earlier to control the floods.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
31<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Men of great wisdom will rush to protect others<br />
Even if that act may cause them distress.<br />
Like the hand that protects the body from a blow<br />
Not worrying about the pain that it will inflict.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
32.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The value of charity is lost when performed<br />
by those who has not learned from ancient texts.<br />
How can a door be said to be strong<br />
Without a latch that keeps it closed.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
33.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
It is immoral men who need protection from slander<br />
Men of high morals do not need any such protection.<br />
For it is the pond that needs a bund to save its water<br />
Has the sea needed any such bund to keep the water.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
34.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
It is the wise, who are afraid of slander<br />
The fools are not affected by it at all.<br />
Only those who can see, fear darkness<br />
How can the blind feel the same?</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
35.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Noble men will always welcome the learned<br />
But those opposite do not care much about them.<br />
For a banana fruit adds taste to a bowl of milk<br />
But the taste does not change added to sour milk.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
36<br />
Men of goodwill will help only those who deserve it<br />
They decline to give to those who do not deserve help.<br />
For people will toil to irrigate the paddy in the field.<br />
But who will ever go and work to irrigate the grass?</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
37<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
Bragging about oneself in the presence of noble men<br />
Will not last long as it only brings about one’s downfall<br />
Even the mighty Vindhya mountain was made to dip<br />
Reducing its height by the power of sage Agasthiar</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
38.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
The friendship with good people brings only benefit<br />
But that with evil people will eventually bring harm.<br />
The unripe fruit as time passes becomes a sweet fruit.<br />
But a shoot as time goes by ends up as a dry leaf.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
39<br />
A friendship with the illiterates however close<br />
Cannot bring much benefit to those involved.<br />
The creeper that climbs and clings to the tree<br />
Blooms and sends its fragrance all in one day.</div>
<div style="color: purple;">
40<br />
When compared with a king clad in gold jewels,<br />
People give more importance to men of learning.<br />
For, even though the eyes do not wear any jewels<br />
They are more important than the organs that wear them.</div>
