Basic Principles Said By The Highly Learned Persons! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
Basic Principles Said By The Highly Learned Persons!
One should start eating his food
…before the wetness of the feet
he washed dries away!
(One should wash their feet before sitting for dining
since most of the people used to go for field work those days)
One should not lie on the bed for sleep
…before the wetness of the feet
he washed dries away!
(One should wash his feet before going to bed
and wipe it dry for health reasons)
These are the basic principles
…and decisions said by the
highly learned persons!
This poem 'Basic principles said by the highly learned persons! ' is a translation of a poem from Tamil literature 'Aasaarak kOvai'
காலினீர் நீங்காமை யுண்டிடுக பள்ளியுள்
ஈரம் புலராமை யேறற்க வென்பதே
பேரறி வாளர் துணிவு.19 ஆசாரக்கோவை

These are in fact some of the nuggets of wisdom received by us in legacy from our fore fathers. An insightful and thought provoking write in form of a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.10+ points. Regards.
Thank you for the nice comment. As you said, I used to wonder when my father used to wipe his both legs after coming from passing urine and washing his feet and wiping dry before lying down in his bed even at his 90 years.
