Verse 122
இடக்கண்
பிலுக்க
இவன் இன்னொருவன் செய்கை கேளு
பேசுவான்
சகல நூல் ஞானம் எல்லாம்
பலுக்குவான்
அவன் கற்ற வித்தை எல்லாம்
பார்த்தோரை
பிரமை செய்து வணங்கச் சொல்வான்
குலுக்குவான்
பெரியோர்கள் வந்தாரானால்
குருட்டு
நாய் தலை அசைத்தாப் போல சொல்வான்
மெலுக்கிலே
வந்தாக் கால் இழுத்துக் கொள்வான்
மிஞ்சி
வந்தால் வணங்கி நின்று தூஷிப்பானே
Translation:
He is a
showman. Listen to the action of
another.
He will talk about
all the books and knowledge
He will show off
all the tricks he had learned
He will make those
who see him get impressed and worship him
He will brag. When great souls come
He will shake his
head like a blind dog
When them near him with
awareness, he will pull back his legs
If they come
forward still, he will salute and insult.
Commentary:
Agatthiyar is
describing another so-called spiritualist. This person is well learned. He can talk expertly about several books,
philosophy and display all the tricks that he has learned. He will impress those who hear him so much
that they will worship him. When great
souls come to see him he will shake his like a blind dog shaking his head. If they approach him to prostrate he will
pull his leg back out of fear
as if they will
pollute him. If they continue to come
closer he will salute them and still insult them.
