Despite his erudite scholarship, deep learning of Sanskrit and Tamil and extraordinary poetic skills, Kamban remains a humble, unassuming, deeply pious man, and a loyal subject of the King.

Ambikapathy is a bold, assertive and supremely self-confident youth, who even at that age, exhibits poetic skills equal to that of his illustrious father.

Ottakoothar is doubly dismayed when he hears of this affair, for he had planned to bring about the marriage of Amaravathi with his stooge, Prince Kulasekharan of Vengi.

Meanwhile, Ottakoothar gets possession of a verse that Ambikapathi had penned as an ode to Amaravathi's beauty and loses no time to showing the parchment to the King.

However, wishing to avoid any unwanted publicity and not willing to take any drastic measures, at the suggestion of Kamban, the King orders Ambikapathi to go to the distant Pushpaga Theevu, apparently to propagate the greatness of Tamil.

In the ensuing argument, the King condemns Ambikapathi as sham poet who could write only verses that cater to man's baser instincts.

The court assembles next day at the vasantha madapam, and in the august presence of the King, ministers and scholars, Ambikapathy commences his soiree with a short invocation to Saraswathi, the Goddess of learning.

Overjoyed at sighting his beloved, and thinking that he has completed the hundred songs, Ambikapathy bursts into a verse in praise of Amaravathi's appearance.

Kamban's anguish-filled plea for clemency falls on deaf ears, as the King orders the death sentence to be carried out.

[5] On the song "Vaanam Inge", she wrote "The refrain at the conclusion of the piece 'Ini Naanum Verillai', in the voices of Bhanumathi and T. M. Soundararajan, is a fitting finale".
