In this episode, we appreciate the inner life depicted in Sangam literary work Natrinai 29, written by Poothanaar. This is the only recovered poem penned by this poet in all of Sangam literature. The landscape is ‘Paalai’ or the drylands, and the poem is expressed in the words of the lady’s mother, hearing news of her daughter’s elopement.
