Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’? Ki. Va. Jagannathan (Ki. Va. Ja.), the legendary Tamil scholar and literary visionary, once found himself in the divine presence of Periyava, when a question was posed that momentarily stilled his erudition: “Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’?” Taken aback, Ki. Va. Ja. admitted with humility that he had never contemplated that question deeply. He reflected, “If someone were to ask me about the greatness of Tamizh, I could speak for hours—on its antiquity, its grammar, its literature, its uniqueness among world languages.

"Bahu manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Jamunar pare, gahana aandhare, ghana nipaban maajhe Piya setha more bedana katare mohe laagi baithi aache Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Sakhi chira abhagini hum Baithe ekakini pohanu rajani tobu naa aailo shyam Sakhi chira abhagini hum   Krishna kajal pighal sajal nayaner nir dhare Eka khina patha britha manaratha bifala avisaare Sakhi hum, kabhu naa avisaare jaaon Dukh laaj etath sah nahi paahon   Britha manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Fir aaj yun, mohan avisaare jaaon Sakhi...
