Quote: In Tamil Nadu, from where my forefathers migrated to Kerala, elderly people bless the newly wed 'Pathinarum Petru Peru Vazhvu Vazhga' (Live a long life acquiring 16 boons). The 16 boons are ,
"thudhi vaani veeram visayam sandhaanam thunivu dhanam
madhi dhaaniyam saubaaggiyam bogam - arivu azhagu
pudhidhaam perumai aram kulam novagal pun vayadhu"
thudhi = fame
vaani = education
veeram = courage
visayam = success
sandhaanam = progeny
thunivu = daring
dhanam = finance
madhidhaaniyam = valued grain (abundance of food)
saubaaggiyam = well-being
bogam = enjoyment of pleasures
arivu = wisdom
azhagu = beauty
pudhidhaam perumai = unending honours
aram = philanthropy
kulam = birth (lineage)
novagal pun vayadhu = healthy long life
Proverb: "Edigo Puli anti, adigo toka antaru jannam "
Should be:
"Idigo puli ante, adigo toka antaru janam".
