Poetic devices
Adukkuthodar / Anaphora (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Paaduven paaduven”
The words 'Paaduven paaduven' and 'Thoongaatho kangal thoongaatho' repeat identical words back-to-back to add rhythmic flow and emotional intensity.
Moonaal / Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Manadhil thondrum thudipai ellam / Mangai naan ariven”
Repetition of the initial letter 'Ma' ('Manadhil' and 'Mangai') across lines creates phonetic harmony.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Nandri kooriduven / Thedi vandha bandham malara”
Matching of the second consonant 'ndri' in 'Nandri' and 'ndha' in 'Bandham' across couplets enhances melodic cadence.
