Tirukkural-On Virtue-On The Blessing Of Children-Kural 66
Malalaisol kela dhavar
Only those who have not heard and enjoyed their children's lisping prattle, Will say that the pipe and the 'yal' are sweet.
The sweet strains issuing from the pipe and the yal cannot stand comparison to the sweetness of the rare music in children's prattle. 'Yal' was an ancient stringed instrument of Tamil Nadu. In Silapathikarm, kovalan uses the same comparison to praise the sweetness of Kannagi's speech as below:
Ariyadhaamae
Siru
Pasungkiliyae
Kulalum,
Yaalum,
Amildhum,
kulaindhanin
Malalai
kilavikku
varundhina
Purananuru has a more direct parallel:
Yaalodum
Kollaa
poluthodum
punaraa
Porularivaaraayinum
thandhaiyarkku
Arulvandhanavaal
pudhalvar
tham
malalai
It
is
also
appropriate
to
notice
here
the
soft
and
mellifluous
flow
of
the
words
in
this
Kural,
in
keeping
with
the
heme,
and
in
contrast
to,
say
the
hard
and
compelling
sounds
of
the
following
Kural:
Karka
kasadara
karpavai
katrapin
Nirka
adharku
thaha
So much is said about the mastery of this art by Tennyson that I thought I would draw attention to Thiruvalluvar's natural adoption of the method centuries earlier.
