Valluvar's words

As my daughter started uttering some words and calls me "amma" now , I could feel this kural much better now...

மக்கட்பேறு
குழலினிது யாழினிது என்பர் மக்கள்தம்
மழலைச்சொல் கேளா தவர்


Kural-66

'The pipe is sweet,' 'the lute is sweet,' by them't will be averred,Who music of their infants'
lisping lips have never heard.

"The pipe is sweet, the lute is sweet," say those who have not heard the prattle of their own children.
