Pootham Varunnedi Lyrics Translation (from “Pathonpatham Nottandu”)
Rafeeq Ahamed writes that Pootham is a good father who drinks the ocean. He says the deity cuts limbs and heads, crushing bamboo and pots.
Aankolli Poonkolli Thenkolli MalayinnuFrom the wild hills of Aankolli, Poonkolli, and Thenkolli.
Aathichan Nallachan Pootham VarunnediThe primal ancestor, our Good Father Pootham, is coming.
Kaalathala Vetti Aalumthala VettiHe comes severing limbs and cutting off heads.
Mulanulli Malanulli Kannikkudam VettiCrushing the bamboo shoots and smashing the ritual pots.
