With this noble objective, MRJ devoted his lifetime to verbatim translate all the four Vedas into Tamil. In addition he also wrote many other books. In 1934 he wrote his Veda Chandrika or A.B.C. of Vedas. His Tamil translation of Sama Veda was published in 1935. This was followed by his Tamil translation of Yajur VedaâMantras of Krishna Yajur Veda and Shukla Yajur Vedaâin 1938. Tamil translation of Atharva Veda came out in 1940. After completing these 3 Vedas, Jambunathan devoted himself to the gigantic task of translating the mighty Rig Veda into Tamil. This task was completed by him a little before his death on 18th December 1974. The first part of his Tamil translation of the Rig Veda was published posthumously by his family in 1978. The second part of the Tamil translation of the Rig Veda was published in 1980.
