If we want to go from Kovilpatti town
..To PuLiyankuLam village at nights, we frown
Traveling up a long distance as the custom
..Of our village till today by passing over
A demon in the ten eyed (ten culverts) bridge,
..A devil in the single solitary Palmyra tree,
A bad spirit in the Indian Mulberry tree,
..A white spook in the bridge where we jump!
If we like to go to the same place in the day time,
..After crossing over the G.Venkatasamy Naidu college,
In the bus stop of ‘single shop', turn to the right side,
..There the village comes within 15 minutes!
Note: பேய் demon முனி devil ஆவி bad spirit பிசாசு spook
