This time one of the best known and often quoted Kurral (ref. my previous posting regarding Kurral).
Kurral:
"Thottanai thoorrum manarkkaeni maandharkku
katranai thoorrum arrivu"
Meaning:
Water springs from the sandy well as much as you dig likewise knowledge comes to people as much as they learn
Description:
In a muddy well, water comes on it only as good as you dig or delve deeper, the similarly knowledge springs from the mind only as much as you learn.
1) Thottanai thoorrum = Thottanaithu + Oorum
Thottanaithu - as much you dig
Oorrum - springs
2) Manarkkaeni - Sandy well
3) Maandharkku - for people
4) Katranai thoorrum - Katranithu + Oorrum
Katranaithu - as much you learn
Oorum - springs
5) Arrivu - Knowledge
