Abstract
Human life requires language. Without language there is no human life. Civilization and one-to-one communication occurs through language. Man expresses thought through language. Poets have expressed their eloquence and depth of language through song. Because of this, it is necessary to carry out studies on the words they say nowadays. A word in Tamil has not only one meaning but also many meanings. There are no words without meaning. In the Sangam literature, among the eighteen above mentioned texts, the Naritana is placed as the first deposit. This article deals with the etymological analysis of the word 'Elephant' in the narrative songs.
