Stone Mortar Is Comparable To The Peacock In The Greenery Orchard!



It has the crest at its head as the crown;
It dances in a standing posture of its own;
It is said and seems to peck at certain times;
It kneels at times; it used to fly around atop
the peaks of the mountains; - Peacock!

It has the round top as the crest;
It helps grinding by staying stationary;
It is pecked at times for better performance;
The turbid water remains after grinding;
It grinds the flour; The stone atop swirls
around the container in the base - Stone mortar!

Find out and notice that stone mortar
is comparable to the pea cock
in the greenery orchard of the

ஆட்டுக்கல்லும் ஆண்மயிலும் - இரு விகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா - சிலேடை 61

கொண்டையுண்டு நின்றாடும் கொத்துவதும் உண்டாமாம்
மண்டிகொளும் மாவரைக்கும் மேல்சுற்றும் - கண்டுகொள்வீர்!
பாட்டோதும் பாவலரின் பைந்தமிழ்ச் சோலையிலே
ஆட்டுக்கல் ஆண்மயிலு மாம்! - வள்ளி முத்து
