Pathartha Guna Chinthamani
The teaching of Silambam has the potentiality to contribute to the following objectives of Physical Education.
In an ancient medical work in Tamil called Pathartha Guna Chinthamani1 ('Pathartha Guna Vilakkam' are based on this text as found out in slightly altered forms - in terms of words), it is said that the play of Silambam would promote strength, increase appetite, remove diseases due to phlegm and wind, and eliminate Constipation and colic. This indicates that its therapeutic value as an exercise had been recognised even during the mediaeval period in Tamilnadu.
