Who will publish the New edition of Tirukkural with commentaries?

Options:
A .  Sivalayam J.Mohan
B .  Vedagiri Mudaliar
C .  Ku.Ma.Balasubramaniam
D .  Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai
Answer: Option A
The new edition of Tirukkural will be released on October 5, 2018. Vedagiri Mudaliar, who taught Tamil in Madurai Tamil Sangam, set up a printing press exclusively for the purpose. In the 19th century, 1850 to be precise, Tamil scholars turned their attention to Kalathur as Vedagiri Mudaliar first printed the Tirukkural with commentaries. The revised version was released in 1853. Vedagiri Mudaliar's book was never printed again. Now, Sivalayam J. Mohan will release the new edition on October 5, exactly 165 years after it was first published.
