Summary:

Of the famed Patineṇkīlkkaṇakku writings, Tiṇaimālai nūr̲r̲aimpatu is included in this volume consisting of the Tamil text, its transliteration and three English translations. Though the Tiṇaimālai nūr̲r̲aimpatu is believed to belong to the post- Saṅkam period, it is in no way inferior to the better known Saṅkam literature called Eṭṭuttokai and Pattuppāṭṭu. They contain love poems which conform to the age-old akam tradition, unique to ancient Tamil literature. In each of these verses dealing with the five-fold divisions of reciprocal love between man and woman, an emotional situation is realistically recaptured and poetically presented against a setting best suited to the theme. The chief merit of these pieces is the psychological realism which will attract the attention of any modern reader. Tiṇaimālai nūr̲r̲aimpatu by Kaṇimētāviyār deals with the five regional themes of kuriñci, mullai, marutam, neytal and pālai with ten verses to each tiṇai. The oft-quoted observation about this poem is that those do not know it may not know the sweetness of the Tamil language.
