Dear Jeyamohan
The beauty of Venn Murasu is To read
about the intricate details of how kingdoms developed, the primitive
tribes and the amalgamation of various tribes. Nagas are referred time
and again in each of the episodes and their in-fight, plight, ancient
rituals, migration to all four corners of India, one of their
princess marrying Arjuna, deported from "kandiva vanam", interaction
with Karna are extremely intriguing. Where do you get these detailed
information? Is it Sage Vyasa has written about the Naga lineage and
migration or there are also other sources? Of course, your beautiful
handling of Tamil words and imagination take the readers to that ancient
period.
As usual, I like the geographic
references and a map emerges out of your writings when River Saraswathi
flowed, Takshasila, Nagothbava - Is this the current Nagpur region?
I
think Venn Murasu will become a beacon for future generation not only
for Tamil words, but also as a reference literature to understand
ancient history, emergence of geographical regions thru the eyes of
immortal Venn Murasu.
Every day the degree of
my amazement is becoming exponential from the day when I first
read "Mudhal Kanal". Thank you for sharing the treasure trove with your
tireless dedication to write to the details.
Warm regards
சோபனா அய்யங்கார்
