Once, weary of hunger and thirst, Avvaiyar stood under a jamun tree pondering her retirement from Tamil literary work as she thought that she has done everything. Lord Muruga (regarded as one of the guardian deities of the Tamil language), was sitting on its branches disguised as a shepherd boy.
Avvaiyar asked him to shake the tree and give her some fruits. He asked her whether she wanted ‘sutta pazham’ (hot) or ‘sudatha pazham’ (not hot). The wise old lady did not understand. She asked him to give her ‘Sudatha Pazham’. There was a shower of ripe jamuns. As Avvaiyar picked them, she blew on the fruits to remove the dust. The shepherd laughed and said, “Grandma! Are the fruits so hot that you are blowing on them?” Avvaiyar was stunned. She realised that she was outwitted by a shepherd boy, who later revealed himself and made her realise that there was still a lot more to be done and learnt. Following this awakening, Avvaiyar is believed to have undertaken a fresh set of literary works for children”.
