Korean has at least two translations of the Tirukkural available as of 2017.

History of translations[edit | edit source]

When Shuzo Matsunaga made the first Japanese translation of the Kural text in 1981,[1][2] he also translated it into Korean, thus making it the first translation of the Kural literature into Korean.[3] In 2015, the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, J. Jayalalithaa, announced the allocation of ₹ 3.6 million towards translating the Kural text into Korean.[4][5] The translation was released by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu K. Palaniswami on 23 May 2017.[6] The first copy of the translation was received by Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Chennai Kim Hyung Tae.[7]

In 2024, another translation of the Kural was made by P. Sahaya Darcius, a philosophy student and the secretary of the Korea Tamil Sangam (KTS) in South Korea, who has also translated the Manimekalai into Korean.[8]

Translations[edit | edit source]

Translation Chapter 26, 육식을 피함
Kural 254 (Couplet 26:4) Kural 258 (Couplet 26:8)
2017 생물을 죽이지 않는 것은 친절함의 행위이다. 살육하고 그 고기를 먹는 것은 불친절함이다. 맑은 정신을 가진 현명한 사람은 죽은 동물의 고기를 먹는 것을 삼가하리라.
