In this episode, we perceive the effect of changing seasons on the land and the mind, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 118, penned by Perunkadunko, a poet-king from the Chera dynasty. Set in the ‘Paalai’ landscape, the poem speaks in the voice of the lady to the confidante, describing the pained state of her heart.
