Naa. Subramanyam|Ka Na Subramaniam]] to translate the Kural. Mallaya spent the next one-and-a-half decades to translate all the 1330 couplets of the Kural text, which became his 18th work to appear in print. The translation was released by the former Supreme Court judge V. R. Krishna Iyer on 23 June 2002.<ref name="TirukkuralInKonkani"/><br />

Another Konkani translation of the Kural text was made by [[Suresh Gundu Amonkar]], who also translated the [[Dhammapada]], [[Bhagavad Gita]], [[Gospel of John]] and [[Dnyaneshwari]].<ref name="Amonkar on Goa University Library">{{cite web | url=http://libcat.unigoa.ac.in/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:Amonkar,%20Suresh | title=Amonkar on Goa University Library | publisher=Goa University Library | date=2016 | accessdate=20 February 2016}}</ref><ref name="Goa's Padmashree Dr. Suresh Gundu Amonkar on Dr. Jose Pereira and Hinduism">{{cite web | url=http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.culture.region.india.goa/111683 | title=Goa's Padmashree Dr. Suresh Gundu Amonkar on Dr. Jose Pereira and Hinduism | publisher=Gmane | date=8 August 2010 | accessdate=20 February 2016}}</ref><br />
