Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagandhal)
“Maada vizhakkae eppodhum”
The subject is metaphorically addressed as 'Nigazhgaala varalaru' (present history), 'Aanimuthu' (flawless pearl), and 'Maada vizhakku' (alcove lamp), accentuating her preciousness and role as a guiding light.
Ethukai (Second-letter Rhyming)
“Naetru andha vaanil paartha / Naalai indha bhoomi pookum”
The second letter consonant 't' / 'd' creates a rhythmic rhyming scheme across lines (Naetru / Naalai).
Anaphora / Repetition
“Aanakatti aalavandha”
Repetition of opening lines ('Aanakatti aalavandha') to build emphasis and a catchy musical refrain.
