Valli Mayil’s Kadavul Endru Sonnaalum Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
M. A. Kaja lists diverse god names to assert all deities are one. His lines ‘All humans born on earth are children of the same mother’ reject artificial divisions of caste and creed. The lyricist traces social hierarchies to human schemes, not inherent truths.
