Thanks Pradeepan for this post. I have heard this song probably more than thousand times (thanks to a member of this group who sent me the cd long back) and I dont know Tamil except for some very common words. Your preface on the song really helps to u'stand it better way than before. No doubt, this is just another masterpiece from ARR :)
