It is a very special scene, where romantic revelry gets entwined with spiritual aspirations. There is luscious prose and lovable poetry in the scenery. A most wonderful celebration for the eyes and the soul!
Vayalars fabled control and command over words and phrases, as well as his deep knowledge in the complex themes of the puranas; are all visible here. It would be difficult to garner the core meaning of all the lines unless one has comparable information in Malayalam language; which I do not.
The lover, Aromuluni is equated to Kannan, Lord Sri Krishna. Her entreaty is that He should adorn his angelic features with the kanakambaragarland twined by her.
Who are you, young lass, who has come through the solitary pathways of the hamlets of Yamuna; through the glittering vrichichamaasa moonlit silvery gardens of Vrindavan! Seeking this Dwarakapuri; my abode, home to Sri Krishna!!!
I am your lassie, who came running in a million births hearing the call of your flute; to the Govedhakamani-bead-paved laps of Govardhana! Yes, I am your gopakanyaka, your grazing girl.
You are my Radha, he rejoins, my lovely, gorgeous Radha! The Radha of Vrindavan who crazed me with spirituous passions.
My much-loved darling, could you decorate this gracious regal scene?
There is explosive bursting of mental revelry!!
Bearing the celestial golden hues!
Displaying cupids arrows on the bosom!
You still appear for carousing in the nightly hours!
Those beautiful dark hours that drives me wild and eager!
The rhyme of the gushing waters!
The drumming din of the Ganges!
The bustle of the bells, and the splendour of the pea**** dance!
Oh, Kannaa! The lolling tune of your wild flute! The hymn that made me a cosmic dancer!
Is there all this in your remembrances?
The song is wonderful, and the scenery befitting. There is also an intense dazzle in the vibrant music. It is Devarajan rhyming with Vayalar, right through the core of the theme and also our senses!

It is the ancient theme from the age of threatha yuga; that of a solitary stone in the wilds transforming itself into a graceful lass, by a solitary touch by the hallowed toes of Sree Rama, the young prince betrothed by Sita.
When pierced by your nails that day, did the sculpture of this lovely damsel, shaped years ago by some nameless artist, enliven itself or did it stir the silent yearnings in you?
You are that figurine, and I, the sculptor. See
Oh, you poesy chipped in stone, what is it that caused the chiming of your golden bracelets? Oh, you dazzler with blushing bosoms, what has caused the kindling of your sensual textures?
Oh, you stunner, attired in petals have you come! Would you not bathe me in passions? Oh, you bloom, pierced bare by cupid! Isnt your gorgeous honeyed nectar, not for me?
The story that is alluded to from the Ramayana, has some connection to a peculiar theme of infidelity. In this film, also there is some level of adultery or something similar in theme. I cant remember.
Then the lines: When pierced by your nails that day .enliven itself: It may in a singular manner allude to the theme of the film in which the female arrives with a terrible disease, which gets cured by touch of the doctor, the hero. This more or less gives her a new life.
The film is Vazhve Mayam. Its second part was Sharashshayya.

I have not seen this film, but the lines drip with luscious yearnings, for the lover, who she has chanced to meet in the twilight hours of the electric dusk. It was the tipsy hour, when on the darkened tips of the castle towers, the golden moon has hued and slashed itself in the hallowed curve. In the temple grounds, the fig-tree vicinity stood bathed in the shaded moonlight.
Oh, my friend, on the pradhakshinaway, my divinity did appear; he came in person. Not one blessing did he lent, neither did he linger to speak, yet, with soundless words he did say something.
I gave him no flowers and none of my offerings, neither did he take any. No naivedyam of passions were offered. Only my filling eyes decorated the divine form in sparkling colours.
The dark scenery, the bewitching passions that stay etched in her soul and the eerie mood of the setting day, all do lent a vibrant mood to the song. P Baskaran in a wonderful mood of creativity!

There is a mesmerizing mood in the air. The dark shaded waters, the slow paced row-boat, and off course the cherubic features of Prem Nazir adding to its intensity. The effect is that of perfect intoxication, as ones gets to feel the tingle and the unbelievable charm of fervent love, longing and of the missing.
Devine is the mood.
Revelry is there in nightingales hall of music; and there is the ache of yearnings in me.
There is stirrings in the silver-beaded waves and unsteady bashfulness in the rapturous gale.
The glassy clear sandbanksstand bathed in the misty radiance of the twilight. Sweetened remembrances of you gushes in the pulsating core of my heart.
In the fragrant pearly-beaded moonlight, why is there no chiming of the dangling bells in your earrings? In the hallowed world of the celestial melodies, there is ecstatic spreading of the tunes of you!
The music is brimming with the soft pace of unfettered feelings. The lines are wonderful. The settings are in sync with the divine mood of the theme.
