Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Aagayam boomi engum / Aanandha vaasam vandhadhae / Anumadhiyae kelaamal”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Aa'/'An' across consecutive lines creates rhythmic harmony.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Kindal kaeligal nindradhae / Konda sogamum sendrathae / Ennai aanandham thindrathae”
Uniform end rhyming with the suffix '-dhae' reinforces the melodic flow.
Etukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Thadagal meeri / Padigal yaeri”
Rhyming of the second consonant 'da' in short paired phrases.
Upamai (Simile)
“Jarigai pattu selai pola... / Jallikattu kaalai pola...”
Uses 'pola' (like) to compare Chennai city streets to a shimmering zari silk saree and the ecstatic heart to a wild Jallikattu bull.
