“I learn about beauty through a rough translation of Kurunthokai — verse 37. You could argue it says more about the nature of elephants, but it says a fair bit about beauty. When the female elephant is hungry, the male elephant strips off the bark of a toddy palm. The sap flows and quenches her thirst.” EcologyElephantsTranslationTamilSangam LiteratureKurunthokaiSangam PoetryTamil Literature Author:Sneha Subramanian Kanta
