Ratha Kanneer’s Manidha Vaazhvile Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Kavi dismisses yogis preaching delayed rewards, favoring immediate joy seekers. Lyrics cite ripe fruit, dance, and music as superior to austere ideals. A. P. Komala emphasizes the repeated line ‘Joy found in art, joy in all arts’ as central evidence.
