In this episode, we savour the portrait of inner life, depicted in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 97, written by Maaran Vazhuthi, who’s said to be a poet-king from Sangam times. The verse is set in the forest country of ‘Mullai’ and speaks in the inconsolable voice of the lady to her confidante, expressing her anguish about the man’s absence.
