Silambu Madalkal

About Silambu Madalkal Android App

Silapathikaram is a great epic of Tamil Literature. It is held in very high regards by the Tamils across the globe. Silapathikaram was authored by the genius poet of Tamil Kingdom of Cherars, Elango Adigal. The date of Silapathikaram is said to be between 1st Century BCE to 2nd Century CE.

Meaning of Silapathikaram is "Story of Anklet". This epic happens in all the 3 kingdoms of those days' Tamils the Chozars, Pandiyars and the Cherars.

The 5200+ lines of poetry offers a vast treasure of information that includes Tamil culture, rulers, great cities, arts like music and dance, various religions and the harmony among them etc.

Silapathikaram conveys 1) great respects to the women (and men too) of high moral and intellect 2) Truth in itself will even punish the king should he err 3) Good or bad acts of the past will yield the same for sure proportionately.

The book Silambu Madalkal was published in the year-2000 by myself (Naga.Elangovan). The same is published as App now. The book is structured on the flow of the story, with prose and selected beautiful poems of Silapathikaram.

I have tried my best to make it simple without compromising the quality of language, so that every one understands the epic in the right perspective. I hope this app helps the readers with fine insights on Silapathikaram, and the selected poems enrich their poetic talents.

Please take some time, go back to 2000 years past, read, enjoy and pass it on to others, the rich epic of Tamil.
