Poetic devices

Ethugai (Assonance/Second-letter rhyme)

Thandhaththu kombanae / Kandhanin annanae

The second consonant sound 'ndh' matches in 'Thandhaththu' and 'Kandhanin', creating classical Tamil ethugai rhyme.

Muran (Antithesis/Wordplay)

Kettathu kadakkum kettadhu kidaikkum

Clever wordplay contrasting 'Kettathu' (evil/bad things passing away) with 'kettadhu' (whatever is desired/asked being received).

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

Aththanai thadaiyum sattena udaiyum / Kalagam vilagum ulagam thulangum

Internal and end rhyming using suffix patterns 'udaiyum', 'vilagum', and 'thulangum'.

Metaphor

Sendhaen endrae thoora…

Divine happiness and grace showering upon devotees is metaphorically compared to drizzling pure red honey.
