The poet ascribes this impressive 1,100-verse work \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e not to himself but to one whom he visualizes as the very spirit of truth, from whose mouth it emerges as 'holy utterance'. Taken \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e as a whole, Thiruvaimozhi reflects a broad view of what the poet saw as the innate human need to venerate, and his belief that the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e god of the sky, of all-encompassing space itself-Vishnu-was the 'original god', containing in himself all others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Superbly translated by Vasantha Surya, this book brings together a selection of 110 verses of the Thiruvaimozhi, showcasing its \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e intricate weave of sense and syllable and its sparkling insights that echo the highs and lows of the enquiring human spirit. Using \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e an interlinear format, the book provides an English translation along with the Tamil original and transliterated text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vasantha Surya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9393852286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789393852281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Vasantha Surya","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089166250239,"sku":"9789393852281","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6d5f3ff-2024-42dd-ae58-e7bd65631ad9.jpg?v=1769108565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-plunge-within-vasantha-surya-9789393852281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
