In this episode, we relish the intricate use of poetic imagery, as portrayed in Sangam literary work, Natrinai 217, penned by Kabilar. Although the verse is set in the mountain country of ‘Kurinji’, it revolves around the theme of a love-quarrel, a theme more commonly found in the agricultural landscape. The poem speaks in the words of the lady to her confidante, conveying a refusal to the man’s request to seek entry to their house.
