  there's a song in anubavi raja anubavi, that went on to become a national rage:
  "muththukkuLikka vaareegaLa
  moochchai adaikka vaaareegaLa
  sippi eduppOma mamamama
  ammaLukkum sontham illaiyo"
  
  using the metaphor of sippi and muthu, to convey sexual urges and intentions, is a time-tested tool of not just kannadaasan, but even among certain hindi lyricists.
  we see this in kannadaasan's other songs, like "sippi irukkuthu muththum irukkudhu", though here the idea is more romantic than erotic, and "aazhakkadalil thEdiya muththu
  aasai sugaththil thOndriya muththu".

  I agree to a certain extent that "Azhakadalil thEdiya muththu" has ambiguous connotations in it. The song goes like neenthinOm nOndinOm unnai edukka in the middle which clearly shows the significance. But the song "muththu kuLikka vARiyaLa" is free from guile. So is "sippi irukkuthu". One has to purpoely put the words together and look for a second meaning except for the first couple of lines.

  MuthukuLikka sencond stanza goes like this
  
  "Naalam NaaLumillai ippa vantu nammaLai"
  "Koopittathu ennadiyamma"
  Ofcourse it is subtle...but still

  'Ennadiyamma" makes me guess that these lines are by TMS. The hero seems to be keeping a count/ on 'nAL' so accurately and earnestly to be health conscious. I wonder what kavinger is trying to convey here? Is he explicitly(without any hesitation) saying women are more feeble minded than men !!!;-))

  I wanted to post the foll. in the Kavi Chakravarthi thread but couldnt. There was no editbox!
  
  Ravi: I opened a separate thread for this because the issue of VM calling Kaviarasu has been an irritant to lot of people including me. I was amused to find the same thing in Kannadasan and wanted to highlight this.
  
  Manisekaran: The issue is NOT about the Kaviarasu title. Its about the tendency to over-glorify. If VM calling himself as Kaviarasu is in bad taste, so is Kannadasan calling himself Kavi Chakravarthi! The only thing in favor of Kannadasan is he didnt insist and propagandize this title.
  
  
  I beleive that titles are meaningless. I dont think anybody called Kamban Kavi Chakravarthi during his lifetime. Valluvar, Ilango, Bharathi didnt hv titles. ( Mahakavi was definitely not his title when he was alive. ) Kannadasans place in TFM and in all our hearts is unquestioned whether his title is Kaviarasu or Kavi Chakravarthi. I am trying to point out that such tendencies towards self-aggrandizement existed even in Kannadasan.

  SM: I am not trying to compare Kannadasan and VM as lyricists - rather, their view/wishes of their rankings as poets. Obviously for VM, Kannadasan is the milestone. Kannadasan sets his sights even higher!

  hai vairamuthu can never reach nor touch kannadasan's foot.he is a like a scapegoat.

  I agree that Vairamuthu can never get even close to kannadhasan's poems/lyrics.
  
  Kannadhasan had a very unique point of view of the world. He didn't give his poetic talents for any threats or pressure.
  
  So please don't compare Kannadhasan with inconsistent(or rather a shallow poet) Vairamuthu.

  I am a christian by choice and belief. I have a point to admire in Kannadasan's Indological writings - simplicity. My comments are about his Arthamulla Indumatham in multiple volumes. While most scholarly writers create cumbersome commentaries, here was Kannadasan, who thought in simple idioms and expressed in light verses. Prose and poetry did not require a caste of eruditness in Kannadasan. What an existential philosopher can strain to say in 60 pages, Kannadhasan could spell in 6 words: Veedu Varai Uravu, Veedhi Varai Manaivi..........He was a people's poet.

  I have an important question that warrants an urgent reply - Was Kannadhasan the lyricist for the song "Ennathaan nadakkum nadakattume" from the movie Panathottam?
  
  I would greatly appreciate if you could e-mail your responses.
  
  Thanks a lot
  Kumaran
