Kerala was known as 'Keralaputra' back in history and was mentioned as one of the independent kingdoms of South India. Cheras transformed the state into an international centre by establishing trade via Arabian Sea. While in middle age, Namboothiri Arab immigrants captured the state and society was guided under caste system. Early Cheras collapsed by neighbouring intervention of Cholas, and later Kingdom of Kozhikode arose regaining them their power back. Kozhikode ports was main gateway for foreign entities and in the year 1498, Vasco Da Gama established a sea route to Kozhikode and this marked influences of Europe in India. In the year 1741, the Dutch was defeated by Marthanda Varma. Later, British gained control over Northern Kerala states and created Malabar district. In 1947, after independence Travancore was established as a sovereign state. In 1956, Kerala State was formed with Travancore-Cochin state, Malabar district and Kasaragod Taluk of South Canara district of Madras state.

Lexical sense – it is the collection of all the semantic features of the linguistic form, by the society.According to the theory of semantic fields the whole vocabulary of a language is structured into a number of semantic or conceptual fields. The semantic fields are “closely-knit sectors of the vocabulary, in which a particular sphere is divided up, classified and organized in such a way that each element helps to delimit its neighbors and is delimited by them, in each field.
Theory of semantic semantic fields heavily influenced by de Saussure’s structuralism and German idealism

3. • PathuPattu (Tamil: பத்துப்பாட்டு) – The ten Idylls, is
an anthology of ten mid length books and is one of
the oldest surviving Tamil Poetry. This collection is
considered part of the Sangam Literature and dated
approximately between 300 BCE and 200 CE.
• This collection had been lost for some centuries
until U.V.Swaminatha Iyer travelled around Tamil
Nadu in the late nineteenth century to collect
ancient palm-leaf manuscripts.
4. • The PathuPattu collection contains lengthy and
picturesque descriptions of the Tamil country and
its seasons. Most of them are in the form of
Aarruppatai, a literary device by which a poet or a
minstrel (A medieval entertainer who travelled from place to place, especially to sing and recite poetry. ) who
has received bountiful(numerous) gifts from some
wealthy patron is supposed to direct another to
the same Maecenas((miːˈsiːnæs- a wealthy patron of the arts).
• This gives the occasion to the poet, among other
topics, to describe in great detail the natural beauty,
fertility, and resources of the territory that has to be
traversed to reach the palace of the patron. The
Aarruppatai is of a piece with Tamil realism and
describes the journey as experienced by a human
traveller, and that on dry land.

their home country during the rainy season to look
after their primary profession of agriculture.
• The heroine laments(literature, music a song, poem, piece of music etc in which sadness is
expressed about a death or loss) that although the rainy season had

season is particularly enjoyable in this book.

poetic work in the Pathinenmaelkanakku anthology
of Tamil literature, belonging to the Sangam period
corresponding to between 100 BCE – 100 CE.

• Meaning of Netunalvadai:Netunalvatai in keeping
with its name, has the theme of the vatai, or cold
breeze. The two adjectives netu and nal to the
vatai breeze mean long and good.
14. • Nature of Netunalvatai:The story of Netunalvatai is
about the heroine who prays to the goddess for the
return of her lover from the battlefield. Seeing the
suffering of the heroine, her maids (A virgin) in the
palace also pray to the goddess for the hero to
quickly win the battle and return home to their
mistress(A woman who has a continuing sexual relationship with a usually married man who is not her
husband and from whom she generally receives material support.).
• Around this centre core, the poet paints a beautiful
picture with descriptions of the heroine's palace,
the hero in the battlefield and the description of
the cool breeze that flows through the palace and
the battlefield to cool the hearts of the pining
lovers.
15. • The cool breeze with the hint of rain, moisture
carrying, spreads everywhere. This breeze promises
rain and brings coolness to the weather making the
shepherds and their flock shiver. The monkeys in
the forest are hurt by the cold weather, birds struck
by the coolness fall from the sky; suckling calves are
turned away by the cows. The cold weather flowing
through the streets of the towns spread the people
and drive them indoors.
16. • Only drunks are to be found in the streets. They are
so inebriated they cannot feel the cold. The cold
weather darkens the sky so that the people have no
means of telling the time to light the lamps. The
cruel cold breeze flows through the battlefield
keeping the hero awake. He goes around at
midnight to converse with his wounded soldiers and
look at his horses.
17. • 8.Kurincippattu (Tamil: குறிஞ்சிப்பாட்டு)
"Kurincippattu" contains 261 lines of poems in the

the mountainous landscape and mentions almost
100 different plant names. Some of these are Atumpu (Ipomoea pes-
caprae), Aati (Lablab bean), pinti (Saraca indica), tumpai (Leucas aspera) and nanti
(Ervatamia divaricata)
18. • The hero and the heroine fall in love. They do not
want their parents to know of this relationship.
Perhaps they fear their disapproval. Perhaps they
are attracted by the forbidden(illegal)! The hero and
the heroine try to arrange frequent secret meeting,
but sometimes it is impossible. Whenever she
cannot meet with her dear lover, she pines (painz)
for him and harsh environment away.
19. • Her parents are at a loss to the reasons for her
apparent sickness. They try various remedies but
the heroine shows no sign of recovery. Such state
of affair lasts for a while and one day a friend of the
heroine come to her parents and divulges (something private or secret)

to travel away from Puhar in order to earn his
livelihood. But he is uncertain, as he knows that his
lover will be forlorn(lonely) in his absence.
Pattinappaalai is the soliloquy (a character talks to himself ) of
the hero in which he addresses himself: "O heart! I will
not leave the prosperous Puhar to go abroad looking
for wealth. The way in which one needs to travel is a
paalai land (wasteland). It is as trust (treacherous) as Karikala's
sword. My lover is tender hearted as Karikala's
reign(rule). I will never leave my dear lover".
• This, the entire story of Pattinappaalai forms a mere six
lines of poetry. The rest of the poem is devoted to the

explain these sounds. It also describes the lifestyle
of the folk dancers of the ancient Tamil country
