Eulogy in Malayalam
Eulogy is സ്തുതി (sthuthi), the word for praise and especially for a hymn of praise. Church and temple use have kept it close to worship, so it carries a devotional flavour.
Most common translation
Praise, eulogy, hymn in praise.
പള്ളിയിൽ എല്ലാവരും സ്തുതി പാടി.
palliyil ellaavarum sthuthi paadi.
Everyone sang a hymn of praise in the church.
