Hi, I want to go through few old Tamil literature, please suggest me which particular author's translation I should buy. I will need all these in English.
Silapathikaram - 3 good translations available... 1. Alian Danielou- most poetic translation - though not very acurate translation - I highly recommend it in case if you want to enjoy the essence of the poetic beauty of the original version. 2. Ramachandra Dikshithar - very accurate translation with lot of critical study 3. R.Parthasarathy - latest translation - not read this book.
Manimekalai - only one complete translation available Alian Danielou
Not compelte translation but contains all details A.Madhaviah
Hello Sir, Thanks a lot, may you please also let me know from where I can get these books. I will be visiting Chennai in October so can buy from there if available.
