Ainkurunooru 208
annaai vaazhi vendu annai kaanavar 
kizhangu akazh nedungkuzhi malka vengai
ponmali pudhuvee thaa-am avarnaattu
maninira maalvarai maraithoru ival
araimalar nendungkan aarndhana paniye

These are the words as spoken by the heroine's friend to the foster mother. This is a kurinji thinai (click here to learn about it) song sung by poet Kapilar, which falls under the category named 'annaai vaazhi pathu' meaning 'long live mother ten'. 

Poem meaning: Long live mother! Please listen! Fresh golden flowers from the vengai tree (Pterocarpus marsupium) fall and fill the long pits created by the forest people harvesting yams. Whenever the tall sapphire mountain of his country drops out of sight her eyes fills with tears like a blue flower(lily).
