What is the meaning of Solla Theriyaamal Lyrics from Kanniyin Sabatham?
Vasanthakumari sings of a joy born in her heart that she cannot articulate. This inability causes daily suffering. Kannadasan’s lyrics describe her admiration for a master Tamil poet whose music turns “stone into fruit.” Her modesty, nurtured by her noble family, stops her expression.

Solla Theriyamal ManathilIn my heart, without knowing how to speak of it,
A young woman’s internal conflict between new joy and cultural modesty defines the song’s core message. Her hesitant adoration for the poet makes her question if it is love or just a phase. M. L. Vasanthakumari’s Tamil “Solla Theriyaamal” lyrics meaning captures this struggle of unexpressed affection.
