Almost all the poets, while dealing with the subject
love, give pride of place to the ‘eye’, which really becomes an ‘electronic
media’ to kindle love and enrich it.
Any poet will have his own element of exaggeration, dramatization but
still it reveals more truth than it conceal. Eyes of the beautiful girls are
the strongest assets which will simply hijack the males just like that and
Valluvar says thatthey are the most powerful weapons on earth.
Since it is only a very very preliminary study we
confine ourselves to some select kurals which depict the finer feelings from
the standpoint of both boy and the girl.
The lover is so crestfallen by the beauty and he is at a
loss to figure out who she is? He praises by saying whether she is one who
looks like an angel -so magical or mystical or a colourful pretty peacock with
heavy rings on her earlobe and her sharp
glances look like knife or powerful arrows aimed at him. Enchanted with this
divine beauty and completely hijacked by her infinite variety, his heart craves and sighs for her..
The lover is so scared of her eye which penetrates like
an arrow or knife in his eye for the simple reason that the eyebrows could not
stay firm and prevent her entry.
She is a shy girl having the eye of the deer and her
modesty by itself is a jewel. Therefore
he says she does not require any external gold makeup. With her deer like look
and all the intoxication in her eyes the damsel is on full song to captivate
him
