Seerkazhi Govindarajan’s commanding vocals drive ‘Dharmaseela Kalaivanar’ from the album *Kalaivanan*, with lyrics by A. Maruthakasi and music by Pendyala Nageswara Rao. The track balances devotional pleading with urgent questions about divine justice.

Maruthakasi’s verses challenge a ruler’s silence toward the poor. “Why is your benevolent gaze not upon the poor at this time?” asks Govindarajan. The singer offers a “garland of verse” but demands recognition for those suffering without aid.
