Verse 1113: Beauty without training
1113. Beauty without training
நெல்குத்தும் பெண்ணின் மிடறு விடும்ஓசையாரும் பயிற்றா இசை
nelkuthum pennin midaru vidumosaiyaarum payitraa isai
The sound that comes from the throat of a woman pounding paddy is music no one ever taught.
Paddy is rice still in its husk; women pounded it with a heavy pestle to free the grain.
