Sung by Kapilar,  categorized in 'annaai paththu', a group of ten Kurinji thinai songs addressing the heroine affectionately as mother.  The song depicts the words spoken by the heroine's friend to the heroine. It was typical to call a friend affectionately as mother, as we do use the words dear, darling etc these days.



 
  

Sweeter than muddied water

Dear friend, believe me. Muddied water in leaf covered pits is sweeter than milk mixed with the sweetest honey.

Carp fish like eyes

You know my friend, I can forget him and go about my life, if only my eyes didn't become dull and dreary. But these eyes!!

Water lily's peeled bright stem

Water lily's stem when peeled of its fibrous outer layer shines bright. But what does it have to do with a woman? When flowers and fish and moon are metaphorical to women's beauty what does a stem, a peeled stem have to do with her appearance?  

Pollen shade in my eyes

My eyes are dull and lifeless because of him, and how do you expect me to let him come in?

Feast her eyes

Oh, Mother! Will the diviner heal her sickness? Instead, make her stand on the boulder and look at his beautiful blooming hills. That will make her feel better making her jewels stay without loosening.
