The services of the twin-editors of Jaffna for Tamil development

Mohanalakshmi Murugarathinam

Abstract

Commentators of Tamil literatures and grammars have got important places. The commentaries have been given equal status like that of the original books. In the same way, the editors of the original sources and commentaries too have their important places in the history of Tamil literature. The forerunners in this field are Arumuga Navalarand C.W.Thamotharam Pillai of Yaazhppaanam (Jaffna). Both of them had performed journeys with different purposes for the development of Tamil. While Arumuga Navalar considered Saivam and Tamil as both of his eyes and served, C.W.Thamodaram Pillai worked in different capacities in Tamil Nadu, collected palm manuscripts and edited them for the first time. Thus, their services have brought out many Tamil literatures out from destruction. Their service for the development of Tamil cannot be forgotten.
