Upadesa Ratthinamalai - Post 8: Pasuram 2
===================================
kaRROrkaL thAm ugappar * kalvi thannil Asai uLLOr *
peRROm ena uganthu pinbu kaRpar ** - maRROrkaL
mAchchariyaththAl * igazhil vanthathen nenjchE! * igazhkai
AchchariyamO thAnavarkku (2)


2.     IT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT IF LEARNED APPRECIATE THIS WORK.
       
Katrorgal tham ugappar                   learned people will be happy to see this work
Kalvi thannil asaiullor                      those who are interested in learning
Petrom ena uganthu                           will feel happy to have received the work
Pinbu karpar                                     and will learn thereafter
Matrorgal                                          those who do not belong to the above two groups
Machchariyaththal                                 out of jealousy, hatred or enimity
Egazhil                                                if speak ill of this work
Vanthathu enn                                     what will happen to us, nothing will be lost
Avarkku                                           for such jealous persons
Egazugai                                          to speak ill about any good work
Achcharya mO than                             is it wonder? It is their nature.
      
       In this stanza Swami MM groups the population in three categories.
They are
1: learned persons who know the value of knowledge,
2: Those who are interested and would like to learn,
and   3: rest of the others.

How each group welcomes the work is then explained.
1: The learned will feel happy and rejoice over the good written work
which for the first time is giving the facts which were hitherto taught orally.
2: Those who are interested to learn will commence their learning gladly through
this work.
3: The last category of persons, due to jealousy being their nature,
will criticize unjustifiably.

Swami MM is happy if learned persons welcome the work though they
will be few in numbers, and those interested commence their learning.

The last word of the stanza gives a different meaning, though this may not be the intention of Swami MM.
Bisect the last line as, acharyamo + thanavarkku. The word ?thanavar? means asuras.
The nature of asuras is to criticize all good things.

For any standard work the support of wise and learned as well as
the criticism of opponents are essential.
