POEM FROM TAMIL LITERATURE - THE SILENT PREDATOR
ABOUT THE POEM:
The poem THE SILENT PREDATOR uses a striking image from nature to convey the greatness of a young warrior. Just as a crocodile, even in shallow water where children play, can overpower and drag down a mighty elephant, the hero possesses extraordinary strength despite his youth. The speaker cautions rival warriors not to underestimate him because of his age or treat battle with him as a mere sport. The poem celebrates the Sangam ideal that true power lies not in appearance, age, or size, but in courage, skill and the ability to prevail in one's rightful domain.
