Kachippetu Nannakaiyar’s Songs

Abstract

The writer's work reflects his society and environment. More than that his imagination and illustrations add beauty to the work. Among the Sangam literary works that sparkle with such beauty is Kurunthogai which contains four-hundred internal hymns. Kachippaettu Nannakaiyar is one of the women in this group. She has sung six songs related to the theme division. This essay examines how her literary style is shaped by the metaphors. The article is approached at four levels. In the first stage, the pathos of Kachippaettu Nannakaiyar are told through six songs. That is to say, her ethos is to prioritize practicality, to express the inherent psychology applicable to all periods, and to deal with natural metaphors as hes ethos. Secondly, it can be seen that her morals are consistent with the traditions of the sect. As a third stage, the woman feels the difference between the feelings of women's and men's separation are clearly explained. That means the songs of Kachippaettu Nannakaiyar are compared to the songs of Perungaduko who sang Palai thinai songs. The fourth stage is about Nannagaiyar who has written two sectarian songs in Kurunthogai. Since the essence of her concept and her name are the same, it is established that these two are one and the same. Analytical, descriptive and comparative research approaches are used in this article
