nabargale, Dr.JB writes more about mylai's work in agathiyam. I'm sharing it here for the benifit of many. But, if you guys feel these discussions should be strictly restricted to PS Varalaaru, I shall gladly do so.
I know u are all eager to know whether we got any book from Vasantha padhipagam or not.
Myself and Krupashankar went there today by Rendungettan velai 11'0 clock. After some search we finally located the Padipagam by around 12'o clock. That padipagam actually belongs to one person called pulavar Mohanarangam. He introduced himself like that and told that his poems are there in 11th & 12th syllabus. We told him that we are part of PS group, that we are thinking of having a library and for that purpose we require Mylai's books. He thought it to be a full fledged library with all sorts of books. So he started showing all his works. Finally krupa had the courage to tell him that we had come only for historical books and that too in particular mylai seeni's books. Then he took out all the Mylai's books that were there and out of those books we selected 4 and bought them.
The four books we got are: Kongu Naadum, Thulu Naadum Kalapirar Aatchiyil Thamizhagam Sanga Kaala Varalaatru Aaivugal Part 1 & 2
Some more books of Mylai published by them are: Mylai Seeni Thamizhukku Vazhangiya Kodai - Parts 1, 2 & 3 Recently published books Buddhar Jatakak Kadhaigal Goutama Buddhar Bouddhak kadaigal Bouddhamum Thamizhum Isaivaanar Kadhaigal Unavu Nool Anjiraith Thumbi Samayangal Valartha Thamizh
Other books which may be of interest to us but written by some other authors are
Pingala Nigandu i.e.Andhakkala Thamizh Sol Agaraathi. By some author (I don't remember the name). 1800 Aandugalukku Murpatta Thamizhagam by Izhatthup Perarignar Mu, Kanakasabai Translated in Tamil by pulavar Kaa. Appaduraiyar.
We got the catalogue of the books published by them.
So there are totally 8 books with us, (including the four books Gokul is having) which we can bring online. And FYI they don't have any of the Mylai Seeni's hand written works still not published. Whatever they got they had published it seems.
So we may have to use some other resources to locate those handwritten unpublished works of Mylai.
