valaiyapathi and kuntalakeci

VALAYAPATI, KUNTALAKESI Of the five major Tamil epics, the texts of Valayapati and Kuntalakesi are not available in full. Moreover when the other epics are quite popular, even the available verses of these two are not extensively known. Poems appearing in urathirattu anthology and some quoted in the commentaries of their literary works are commended for their poetic genius and universal message and deserve deep study and wide publicity.
