In this episode, we get drenched in the inner life depicted in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 51, written by Peraalavaayar, a poet from the ‘Aalavaai’ region of ancient Madurai. This poem is set in the ‘Kurinji’ landscape or the mountainous regions and speaks in the anguished voice of the lady to her confidante, as the man listens nearby.
