Mankombu Gopalakrishnan writes that a fierce bull charges and the village must match its rhythm. He also mentions planting a victory flag and clapping thunderous drums.
Karintholu SangamaakeThe gathering of our dark-skinned folk,
Pattikkaattu Koothu KaattuShow us that wild, forest dance.
Podu Graama ThaalamonnuStrike a common village beat.
Pottu Naattu Koothu KaattuBurst out and perform the rustic dance.
Chilambaattam Chutti KaattuSpin around and show the ‘chilambu’ anklet dance.
Kaatte Randaay Vetti KaattuSlice the very wind in two.
Jallikkattu KaalayaattamLike the play of a ‘Jallikattu’ bull,
Koortha Kombil Kuthi KaattuGore through with those sharpened horns.
Naalu Kaalu Naalu TholuWith four legs and four shoulders,
Viratti Thaalam Orukki KaattuChase the rhythm and bring it to life.
