As of 2015, the Tirukkuṟaḷ has been translated into Sinhalese at least twice.[1]
Background
The first Sinhalese translation of the Tirukkuṟaḷ was made by Govokgada Misihamy,[2] with the assistance of S. Thambaiah, in 1961 under the title Thiruvalluvar's Kural. Mishamy considered his work an 'adaptation' rather than a translation, as he believed that no translation of a classic into a foreign language could do justice to the original.[3]
Another translation of the Kural text was made by Charles De Silva in 1964, and was published by the Sri Lanka Sahitya Mandalaya.[2][3]
