Literary Allusion (Ilakkiya Aatchi)
“Annalum nookinaan Avalum nookinaal”
The opening lines directly quote the famous line from Kamba Ramayanam (Mithilai Katchi), describing the iconic moment when Lord Rama and Goddess Sita lock eyes for the first time.
Simile (Uwamai)
“Padaranthaen alainthaen Kodi pola naan”
The narrator compares her love and growth around her partner to a creeper/vine ('kodi') spreading and wrapping around a tree.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Udalum uyirum mezhugaai urugum”
The physical and spiritual melt of devotion and passion is metaphorically equated to wax ('mezhugu') melting under heat.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyming)
“Tharai nillaa nillaa iru kaalodu / Karai kollaa kollaa alai neeroodu”
The second consonant sound 'rai' matches across consecutive lines, creating acoustic harmony.

Trivia
The iconic opening phrase 'Annalum nookinaan avalum nookinaal' is a direct homage to Kamban's 12th-century epic Kamba Ramayanam. Lyricist Thamarai cleverly weaves classical Sangam and Epic Tamil poetic imagery into D. Imman's modern melody, sung beautifully by Shreya Ghoshal and Varun Parandhaman.
