Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Malar pudhumugam”
Compares the beloved's fresh face directly to a blossoming flower.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Ilanguyil paaduthu raagam / Isaithida thoonduthu mogam”
Both lines start with similar vowel sounds ('Ilanguyil' and 'Isaithida').
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Ondrukul ondraana thaegam idhu / Uyirukul naan konda baagam ithu”
The second consonant 'nda' ('ndr/yr') creates rhythmic second-letter assonance between the lines.
