Some Kudhambai sidhar
songs in english
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Kuthambai Sidhar
is one of the 18 Sidhas
. It seems he was only son to
his parents and was brought up like a girl waering an ear globe(Kudhambai)
.He is famous for his three lined
philosophical verses , all
addressed as question to a girl
called Kudhambai. It seems he attained Maha Samadhi
in Mayiladuthurai . Here are translation of some of his verses in to english . His verses are very difficult to translate and what I have done is only an attempt
