December 14, 2022 – Nandini Karky's Musings

In this episode, we listen to the valour and generosity of a king, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Puranaanooru 69, penned about the Chozha King Kulamutrathu Thunjiya Killivalavan by the poet Aalathoor Kizhaar. Set in the category of ‘Paadaan Thinai’ or ‘King’s praise’, the verse promises good tidings to a poor bard, who has nowhere to turn.
