Arthamulla Indu Matham –Questions and Answers.Combined edition of both Part 1 and Part 2 makes up 327 pages. I have indicated, what I consider as Kannadasan’s 23 major works with asterisks. Kannadasan’s entire corpus is given below, for its reference value. I’m not a big fan of fiction, as such I have ignored purchasing Kannadasan’s historical novels and novellas. I do have another dozen titles of minor works in my collection, but unfortunately cannot reach them in time for this essay. Exceptionally, I have included one 2 nd edition work. Here, I provide additional details for 46 of these titles (which are in my personal library), such as the year of first edition and page numbers of these titles. Only the names of the titles are given in this listing. Sayabu Maraikayar provides a list of 123 published titles, under separate categories, as Kannadasan’s oeuvre poetry, epics, movie lyrics, religious philosophy, essays, short stories, historical novels, social novels, novellas, dramas, autobiography, thought droppings, life-help advisory literature, edited works, commentaries and travelogues.

In his autobiography, he called this cryptically as his ‘second arrangement’. His wife’s name was Parvathi, from Chennai. Following year, in 1951, Kannadasan married second time. Their names were Alamelu (f), Kanmani Subbu (m), Thenammai (f), Kalaivanan (m), Visalatchi (f), Ramasamy (m) and Venkatasalam (m). Seven children were born from this union. Kannadasan’s first wife’s name was Ponnama, from his native region, Karaikudi. On physical productivity, Kannadasan had a total of 15 children, from three wives, married in sequence in 1950, 19. In this part, I focus on Kannadasan’s productivity: both of, physical and intellectual variety.
