Thaayae Thaya Nidhiyae is a heartfelt prayer sung by P. Leela from the 1964 Tamil movie Veeranganai, set to music by S. Vedhachalam with lyrics penned by T. K. Sundara Vathiyar. The song portrays a heroine seeking divine grace and strength from the Divine Mother to overcome her afflictions and defeat her foes.

Metaphor (Uruvagaim)
“Thaayae thaya nidhiyae”
The Goddess is described as 'Thaya Nidhi' (Treasure of Mercy), metaphorically equating her divine grace to an inexhaustible treasure.
Anaphora / Parallelism (Mondhai / Paralellism)
“Kann asaindhaal endhan”
The repetitive structure of 'Kann asaindhaal', 'Un naav asaindhaal', and 'Un manam asaindhaal' creates a poetic rhythm highlighting how subtle actions of the Divine bring profound cosmic results.
Second-Letter Rhyme (Edhukai)
“Naan thudhi padithaen”
The second consonant sound 'dhi' matches across 'gadhi', 'thudhi', and 'vidhi', creating euphonic unity in the verse.
