given below are some kural translated by the poet,writer suddhananda bharathi,try whether you can find the original tamil kural.the kurals are from "kalvi" adhikaaram

1] As deep you dig the sand spring flows
as deep you learn the knowledge flows

2] some food for the stomach is brought
when the ear gets no food for thought.

my request to ikolamites is to share their views about the translated kural and the original one.

Yes, I got them Deepa! There may be little mistakes as it is a long time I had touch with Kural!
தொட்டனைத்தூறும் மணற்கேணி மாந்தர்க்கு
கற்றனைத்தூறும் அறிவு.

செவிக்கு உணவில்லாத பொது வயிற்றிற்கும்
சிறிது ஈய படும்.

Now can you guess my favorite kural in the 'nilaiyamai' adhikaram?
Whenever, I hear about a death, this kural flashes in my mind!
