As of 2015, there were at least four translations of the Tirukkural available in Bengali.
History of translations
[edit]The first Bengali translation was made in prose by Nalini Mohan Sanyal in 1939.[1] It was published by Bangiya Sahitya Parishad, with a foreword by the eminent Bengali Scholar Suniti Kumar Chatterjee. However, the work is presently out of print, with the only copy available at the National Library in Kolkata.[2] The second translation was by E. C. Sastri in 1974.[1] The third translation appeared in 1993 by N. Ramanuja Das,[1] which was published in Khardah in West Bengal.[3]: 36 The second and third translations too were made in prose. There appears to be another translation by T. N. Senapathy, the details of which are not known.[3]: 37 The first verse translation was made by Subramaniyan Krishnamoorthy, which was published in New Delhi by Sahitya Akademi.[3]: 34 Krishnamoorthy has also translated Cilappadikaaram into English published by M. P. Birla Foundation, Kolkata.[1]
