  • Thanks Vairam, for the source.

    Even in the movie 'Iruvar', in one of the first poetic narration
    (narrated by Aravind Swamy), Vairamuthu has penned this
    beautifully..

    'pirantha kuzhandhai nadanthu pazhaga,
    kayil velai koduppom.
    pirantha kuzhandhai iranthu piranthal
    vaalal keeri pudhaippom'.

Howdy, Stranger!
