[suda - to heat; chudarum - shining; pon - gold; pol - like; oli -

A short comparision of strength between herbivorous(or vegetarian) &
carnivorous (or non-vegetarian) animals.
When a lion (carnivorous animal) chases a deer (herbivorous animal),
the deer continues to run for longtime. But, the lion unable to continue
running, stops its chase, puts out its toungue,inhales.., exhales...,
inhales..., exhales..., ..... Then, restarts its chase. Finally, whether
it gets the deer or not, is not the matter here. While the deer never
stops, why does the lion takes break on its chase ??
The reason is - the lion being carnivorous has less strength (not
power) while the deer being herbivorous, has more strength to run. If
the animal world is noted more detailedly, lots of things can be learnt.

Not many of us know that only 2 languages in India (as far as i
know) are able to resonate with the subtle frequency - unknown to the
world. One is Sanskrit and the other is Tamil. Here is a collection of
all the popular Sanskrit slogas and other interesting things.
