    Dear Friends,
    You're all using so many Tamil words in your posts lately, that I
    can't understand
    the recent emails.
    Can you help me out? I want to understand, like to learn new Tamil
    words, but
    can't keep up.

    Thalattu is Lullaby

    Ialnko is younger prince. The author of Tamil classic Silappadikaram is  ilanko.

    the word ilamko is used to denote lakshmana.

    The whole series is on Ramayana in Tamil before the poet kamban.

    kamban is the author of tamil ramayananm. ( his period is variedly mentioned as early chola to kulothunga)

    The article is on mentioning of various Ramayana inncidents in early tamil works- upto alwars.
