I would like to thank Dr.Francis Muthu, who encouraged me to


convert this blog into a research paper. I have recently written a
paper Kuicippu and 99 flowers to been soon published in a
journal. I researched for a month in addition to time spent compiling
this blog and the knowledge gained in the two years. Based on my
findings I have updated this blog. This blog would now feature
photos of all 99 flowers (annicam is not properly identified yet). The
blog will be further updated once the paper gets published.

First I would like you to watch this video. This is Surya from
Poovellam Kettuppar.

He mentions name of 100 flowers and nearly most of the flowers he


has mentioned are taken from a poem from Sangam Literature.
Kapilar , one of the greatest poets in Sangam era had mentioned 99
flowers found in the Kurunji region(Mountainous region).Below are
the lines from Kurunjippaatu

When I was reading Kurunjipaatu, I wondered how all these 99


flowers would look like. Then I decided I would try to make a blog on
these 99 flowers like I have done before for few other flowers in my
wordlist series. But this one was more arduous work than I thought.

Something interesting I foundbut i dont know how valid


it is,
The wood of ebony is used as firewood, as it can burn
even in moist conditions.
The best-known ebony may be that from Diospyros
ebenum, native to southern India and Sri Lanka; this
wood is traded as Ceylon ebony.(from wikipedia for
ebony)
Going by these two, I understand it as.
Margali is the season Andal keeps her fast. Margali is
traditionally winter and 1000 years back it must have
been really cold in the morning. So Sulli would have given
the continuous fire which is required. It was the need of
the hour! a wood which would burn even in very cold and
moist conditions.
it also looks like ceylon ebony must have been really
costly (unless they have it in their backyard) so we can
assume Andal must have been really desperate and ready
to do anything to acquire the lord!

Vairam

>>>I dont think even the renowned literaturists(tamil)

It would be a grave mistake if I dont point this out.
Prof. Vaiyapuri Pillai (1891-1956) was a renowned
scholar of Tamil. An advocate by profession, he edited
and published several Tamil classics from original
manuscripts. He is best remembered as the editor of the
Use our professional HTML to PDF API at http://www.htm2pdf.co.uk!

Tamil lexicon published by the Madras University in the


1920s. He was a voracious reader and had in his own
private collection thousands of books in Tamil, English,
Sanskrit and Malayalam. His collection also included
hundreds of palm leaf manuscripts. This collection was
later donated to the National Library at Calcutta.
Without the great scholars who worked to create the
Tamil lexicon nothing could have been done by people
by me.
If at all one has to thank for this blog all thanks should go
to the great scholars who compiled this Tamil Lexicon!

Dear Palaniappan, Great work. Path breaking. If we could


identify all the birds and mammals mentioned in Sangam
literature, then we will have an idea of what we have lost.
For instance..what is kavari maan? One has to have a
good knowledge of birds and mammals and also be
familiar with ancient Tamil to attempt this. . Hope your
example will be followed.

Hello friend. It is me again. I saw you slide show of flower


and appreciate for you good work. Regarding flowers I
wish to point out that the flower you shown under the
caption AVIRAI is commonly known as AVARAMPOO.
Under the caption THALAI it is shown the flower of

coconut nut tree. But THALAI in the sense of flower it


means THALAMPOO whi;ch is shown under caption
KAITHAI. It is leaf of the plant with fragrance. Normaly
mango sours in taste. By mentioning it as THEMA I think
it may be the mango called as Bangalora which is taste
lesser sour and is edible in unripe state also.
Pacharimangai is also similar one. Thank you

Vairam,
I am not sure if you are aware of this. Apparently the
species identity of all the 99 flowers have been
established in the seventies itself. Siromoney in his article
on the net on
Tambaram flora and early Tamil literature cites this
reference: P. L. Samy, The plant names in Kurinjippaattu,
Journal of Tamil Studies, September 1972, pp. 78-103

Great Job. Should really be a very hard job.


Has exactly what I was searching for a long time.
Came across this page only today. Even though the
flowers and names are familiar, I always wanted to know
which flower is called by which name. This page has that
info.
Thanks,
Sree Pratheep

Ive a book of essays somewhere in my house:-) One of


them was on this paattu it was all about how a few
names were indecipherable due to the chuvadi getting
damaged. And how the author went about chasing
sources after sources to get the missing names. reads like
a thriller. Contd.

I think the essay is by Ki Va Ja.


Now interestingly the essayist speculates on possible
reasons for the poet to mention these flowers: a) the poet
wanted to show off his knowledge b) the poet wanted to
point out the rich flora of those times c) The thalaivis
thozhi by this lengthy narration wanted the mothers
anger to abate.
This is all I recall from reading it several decades ago.
