I found a short and interesting video clipping this morning and wish to share with you all.

It is about MahAkavi BhArathiyAr.

Nithyasree - 5 - Interpretation of Bharathiyar - mArgazhi mahA utsavam 2008 - YouTube

There is a sloka which says about these mahakavis:


उपमा कालिदासस्य भारवेरर्थगौरवम्
दन्डिनः पदलालित्यं माघे सन्ति त्रयो गुणाः

Upamaa kaalidaasasya bharaverarthagauravam

Dandinah padalaalityam maaghe santi trayo gunaah


Kalidasa excels in the use of similes and metaphors in his poetry, Bharavi’s works are pregnant with meaning, Dandi’s language is simple and lilting and poet Magha combines in him all the three qualities mentioned above


By this and by the comments expressed by others, Bharathiyaar qualifies as Mahakavi (according to me)
