In this episode, we relish the novel similes that paint the inner and outer world, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 141, written by Salliyankumaranaar. The verse is set in the ‘Paalai’ region or the drylands and speaks in the voice of a man to his heart, expressing his inability to part from the lady and go in search of wealth.
