Ante Sundaraniki’s The Panchakattu Lyrics Translation
The observer notes the man has finally “crossed the boundary” after understanding life’s core truth. A later line humorously says he “brandished a knife” purely for the sake of fun. This language confirms his full leap into a more joyful existence.
