Is the song alluding to the Sun on its glorious journey seeking the golden Sunset at the far ends of the day? It would be a mighty foolish conclusion, to feel thus.

It is the lightly clad maiden, with the dangling earrings, that is the subject; there is no doubt of it, at all. She comes with the same promises of rejoicing as that intimated by the Aadimasa Sun; whispers of both rejoicing and also of ominous portends.

As she makes haste to get away, there is question of where she hurrying from; from the vicinity of the golden dawn or from the golden house of the Almighties? Or has she come out from the courtyard of the stilly, luminescent crescent moon?

Whereof is she hurrying to? Is it to her sunset, in the dark harbours of life? Is she taking herself to the sacrificial altars, where the fiendish monsters await, in a mood of supreme repose; and to saunter into the dark, watery horizons?

The mood is pensive and the music brooding. Vayalar and G Devarajan in perfect alignment! As always!!
