Oyyara Mayil Mel Lyrics Meaning K.S. Chithra | Swarnalatha | Pottu Amman
Piraisoodan structures the plea around Muruga’s attributes – ‘Velayutham Kakka’ requests protection through sacred weapons, while ‘Kalil Thandai Kaleer’ mimics anklet sounds to signal divine approach. K.S. Chithra emphasizes physical and spiritual safeguarding through repeated invocations of spears and boundaries.
