Dear Jeyamohan
Sahadeva's journey with the "Arugar" and the Kaniyan Avatar he has taken helps him to
find
his "sol". So far, chapter 20 is the best to describe the profound
knowledge of Sahadeva. I like Sindhurar's interpretation of Gnana. That
sentence really haunted me for a while by repeating and trying to break
and rejoin the meaning.
Another interesting
aspect of this chapter is about the "Velaparpanar" who have determined
to record the knowledge in all the disciplines even when shunned by the
Vaidhika followers. I am reminded of Thomas Cahill's Irish monks who
saved the Latin literature by scribing. ( How the Irish saved
civilization by Thomas Cahill). The list of books scribed and preserved
by the "Velaparpanar" is amazing. The credit of course goes to King
Nala who supported the movement of scribing and preserving the ancient
knowledge.
Another pearl of wisdom comes from
Vahnar when he tries to convince Sahadeva to apply the "Sol" to give a
form to his knowledge. Another best one is his saying "Thousands and
thousands of epics are still written because there is something unique
about every woman that is being discovered"!
Thanks for the superb writing and for sharing the "Sol" thru Sahadeva.
Warm regards
