Dr.R.J.A. Stephen Loie in venturing the task in a unique way with his inimitable style by comprising the whole gamut of Thirukkural as concise and precise in 4+3 word couplet is a remarkable achievement, and I have my own fear in telling, a great task has been well revealed in power of knowledge in comprehension of Thirukkural...”From Prelude…AVVAI NATARAJAN Former Vice Chancellor

"Lofty thoughts" as the Chief Guest could speak late only after his address as the Guest of Honour and left off after honouring me with shawl. He was keeping Thirukkural English Couplet
at his hand and reading it.The Hon'ble Minister was happy when I answered him during my talk howValluvar could write things of the present world in 2000 B.C.

BRIEF PROFILE OF AUTHOR & BOOK

Uniquely translated in English as the 4+3 Word couplet, a replica of Thirukkural itself by this Author, having a rich profile with recognized Degrees in law, psychology, criminology, administration, language from many colleges and Universities. It is First of its Kind Translation.

English Words are aptly selected, derived from many languages, being medical, legal, physiological, psychological, merchandize terms. Eg.Su-jok, mens rea, agape etc. Author's Preface explains in detail how he has translated Kurals and how the readers could understand this translation well by knowing the indepth meaning of those words.

Advocate by Profession and qualified in many allied subjects like criminology, psychology, administration, language, religion the author sees and shows Thirukkural as a university with different subjects aptly put in 7x1333 words, certifying human beings as Worthy lives.

Wonderfully has this been finally achieved in English for people at large all over, aiming at Peace of the world. Dr.Leonard Fernando, Rector- St.Joseph's Trichy and Dr.Avvai Natarajan, Former V.C. and Tamil Prodigy have commented greatly and graciously on this work through their Foreword and Prelude respectively.

Valluvar has exclusive Kurals for Judges, Advocates, other Professionals, even for people like drunkards as well. That is the graetness of Kurals. A new Tamil phrase and a word were invented by Thiruvalluvar, not known anywhere else except in Greek language.

Valluvar speaks of E-glands before science could find them, about Conciliation, arbitration, Mistake of law etc.which all came into existence recently. Everything that he could tell in 7 words are translated as they are. A sample of this Translation is hereunder:

"Unprepared speakers long for

A long speech" ( Kural 649)

Review on Thirukural Translation-

Dr K.S.Antonysamy,Head, Department of English, Loyola College

Sujatha, the great luminary of 20th Century Tamil Literature stated that there is a yawning gulf between the classics in Tamil and their cognition among the contemporary Tamil youth. In order to make them understand, he made an attempt to paraphrase Aathichoodi and Thirukural into layman’s language. Similarly, Dr Louie, the translator of 4 + 3 word couplet Thirukural has not only abided by the forms of a couplet but also transformed into a lucid, terse and laconic content well suited to both the cognoscenti and mediocre readers with his multifaceted forte and profound erudition. A sample study of his efforts would throw light on his anchorage and supremacy over both the source language and target language:

“Kingdom perishes if eight

Virtues are unheeded” (Chapter 55, Couplet 8 on Upright Governance)

The youth of the generation would easily gat at the content of this kural as if it has been done in communicative translation I appreciate Dr. Loiue for the immense efforts he has put in to make this intellectual sage with a great amount of passion
