This verse was composed by Saint-Poet Arunagirinathar, while he was engaged in a literary contest with Villiputturaar, a great scholar who wrote Villi Bharatam. And Arunagirinathar attained victory over Villiputturaar in this contest. This is a well-documented historic incident, and infact THE CROWNING POINT FOR KONNAKKOL.
Avathara Purusha Arunagirinathar highlighted not one; but three traditions in Konnakkol. And this verse represents the 3rd tradition of Konnakkol. This composition has only one consonant ‘tha’ and it belongs to ‘andhAdhi’ genre, where the last letter / word, forms the first letter of the succeeding word.
I learnt this composition 10 years ago & I took atleast a month to get the exact pronunciation. I am forever indebted to my Guru Vidwan Shri Sanak Kumar Athreya for teaching me this & also introducing me to the world of Thiruppugazh.
