English Translation of the song: The distance between silver coin (money) and good attitude indeed is far away This is the lesson (i.e. the distance between the two) the world wants us to realize It will go (the attitude of possession) beyond the bondage of fatherly affection And shut the mind like a chestnut that is locked firmly (as far as parting of the wealth is concerned) It will make the possessor (of wealth) to frown Song Originally Written in Tamil: கவள்ளி ணத் க் ம் நல்ல ணத் க் ம் கவ ரம் இ உள்ள டி இந்த உல ம் உணர்த் ம் ஒரு ொைம் கவள்ளி ணத் க் ம் நல்ல ணத் க் ம் கவ ரம் ிள்லள எனும் ந்த ொைத்லத தள்ளி ிொிந்பதொடும் தன் உள்ளத்லத இரும்பு க ட்ை மொக் ி தொழ் ப ொடும் இல்லொதவர் எவரொன ப ொதிலும் எள்ளி நல யொடும் இலணஇல்லொத அன்லன அன்புக் ை கைொல்லொல் தலை ப ொடும் கவள்ளி ணத் க் ம் நல்ல ணத் க் ம் கவ ரம் கவள்ளத்தினொல் வரும் ள்ள பமடு ப ொல் கைல்வம் வரும் ப ொ ம் and flaunt at the people (who do not have money) It will even dictate terms to the incomparable pure love of the mother Wealth may come and go as the ups and downs caused by storms. Those who do not realize even a bit of this fact the selfish aggrandizer sorrow alone would result Faultless pure love alone is permanent and eternal In which sorrows, and sufferings would vanish, and happiness ever remains இலத எள்ளளபவனும் எண்ணொத ஞ்ைர்க் ன் ம் வரொவொ ம் ள்ளமில்லொத அன்பு கைல்வபம என்றும் நிலலயொ ம் ஷ்ைம் தீரும் வலல ள் மொறும் இன் ம் உருவொ ம் கவள்ளி ணத் க் ம் நல்ல ணத் க் ம் கவ ரம் இ உள்ள டி இந்த உல ம் உணர்த் ம் ஒரு ொைம் கவள்ளி ணத் க் ம் நல்ல ணத் க் ம் கவ ரம் Interpretation of the song This song postulates the idea of “possession of money”. It says that possession of money makes one to develop the attitude of pride that results in disequilibria of mind. The possessor also develops an attitude of alienating himself from his own kith and kin. Thereby fail to entertain his own natural instinct of affection that will certainly lead to sufferings in future and in turn his own kith and kin would not show their affection in future when circumstances makes him to depend on them. He would go to the extent of dictating terms even to his mother, who is the embodiment of eternal love. The song also postulate that faultless pure love alone is eternal; by practicing this eternal and pure love the sufferings and sorrows will vanish. This version of Pure-Love reminds us, what was written by Shakespeare, in Sonnet-116 wherein he states that “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove” (40). It is also relevant to quote what Christ Jesus had said Father Forgive them indeed they know not what they are doing at the time he was hanged on the cross suffering untold pain (41). It is also not out of place to quote Mahatma Gandhi when he said to forgive the offender who shoot him to die. These are exalting personalities who practiced eternal love for them both sorrow and joy are the same. Thus the above song classifies the attitude of possessing or hoarding money (42). Critical Analysis Indeed the theories of micro-economics i.e. the classical economist like Sir Adam Smith who states that “Every human living in the society needs wealth to fulfil their basic requirements. All the human beings living in the society are concerned to earn more and more. Smith, dealt in detail, the aspect of wealth that is to say according to Adam Smith “economics is only concerned with wealth earning activities. It means economics deals with production, distribution, exchange and consumption of wealth” (43). The second definition of economics was given by the leader of Neo-classical economists, Alfred Marshall (1842 A.D -1924 A.D) in his famous work published “Principles of Economics” in 1890 A.D. According to Alfred Marshall, “Economics is a study of mankind in an ordinary business of life.” It inquires how a man earns income and how he uses it. Thus, it is on the one side the study of wealth and on the other, the most important part is the study of mankind. Thus, Marshall shifted the focus of economics from wealth aspect of Adam Smith to welfare aspect.
