This song is based on the Nayaka-Nayaki Bhavam, where the poet, assuming the heroine's role, expresses the pang of separation from the hero, Murugan.
The sea, the God of Love Manmathan, the breeze, the women's gossip and the sounds of bell and birds are a few of the things that aggravate the agony of separation.
