It is hard to imagine this poem paraphrases the more ancient Jain or Buddhist sayings. When reading them before the eyes rises era, characterized by extreme instability, uncertainty about the future, the era of social upheaval and constant internecine wars of feudal lords south. It is possible that Naladiyyar actually created during the decline of the kingdom of Pallava and the formation of feudal monarchies country Tamils. In Naladiyyare lists all the attractive
things in human life and the unpleasant and difficult that it opposes the attractive, being in relation to him resulting from the process.
Through dozens of poems Naladiyyara is the theme of death and again shows the futility and insignificance of wealth, "because only then, the possession than ever, it makes sense, death will come anyway, and wealth in different birth to you will not go". And death inevitably put to rest all the efforts to achieve a higher social status and material well-being. Propaganda out of wealth here assumes the character of social protest.
The ascetic tendency in Naladiyyare relatively weak. The authors of poetry find real value only enduring, love, pleasure, beauty does not have value because they will disappear with the coming of death or old age.
Purely in Naladiyyare Jain is the dismissive attitude to the body, and the denial of appropriate funeral rites, which plays such an important role in Hinduism. In some ways, not just ethics Naladiyyara maximalist, but (which is especially characteristic of Buddhism), it evaluates the action is not on its outer side, and in explanation of consciousness.
In essence, ethics is an absolutely Naladiyyara atheist rule here - the mechanism of natural process and does not in anyone's individual divine creation. Moment of worship is absent completely.
With the creation of such a legend associated Naladiyyara. Eight thousand Jain sages have left the yard king of the dynasty madura Pandit, whom they sought refuge during the famine.
Each of them left a quatrain on palm leaves. In order to select the best of poetry, the king ordered to throw them into the river Vaga. Some of them swam against the tide. They were caught and of these three books, one of whom was Naladiyyar.
These very brief notes relating to several works of ancient Tamil literature, which are neither specifically philosophical, not a specifically religious. What is here said, does not pretend to be an exhaustive description of all the common ideas of these works |
