The Poet
Kaniyan Poonkundran (Kaniyan pUnkunRan) is the contributor of the song number 192 of Puranaanooru He was one of the bards living in ancient Tamilakam and
was obviously driven by the universal thinking of his times to make the observation Every place my living space, Everyone my kin in his song.
He goes on to assert that our joys and sorrows need not be attributed to others and we are responsible for the same. For Poonkundran, the individuals birth, life and
death are no big events. Like a raft fighting through the boulders and moving downstream, our life moves through several hardships and end.
