Avvaiyar
The Avvaiyars (Tamil: ஔவையார்; 'Respectable Women') was the title of more than one poet who was active during different periods of Tamil literature. The Avvaiyar were some of the most famous and important female poets of the Tamil canon. Abithana Chintamani states that there were three female poets titled Avvaiyar.
Among them, Avvaiyar lived during the Sangam period (c. 1st and 2nd century CE) and had cordial relation with the Tamil chieftains Vēl Pāri and Athiyamān. She wrote 59 poems in the Puṟanāṉūṟu.
Avvaiyar II lived during the period of Kambar and Ottakoothar during the reign of the Chola dynasty in the 10 th century. She is often imagined as an old and intelligent lady by Tamil people. She wrote many of the poems that remain very popular even now and are inculcated in school textbooks in Tamil Nadu. These books include a list of dos and don'ts, useful for daily life, arranged in simple and short sentences.
There is a very famous legend that is associated with Avvaiyar (Tamil: ஔவையார்), a prominent female poets/ethicist/political activist of Sangam period (Tamil literature), and Naaval Pazham (Jambu) in Tamil Nadu. Avvaiyar, believing to have achieved everything that is to be achieved, is said to have been pondering her retirement from Tamil literary work while resting under Naaval Pazham tree. But she is met with and was wittily jousted by a disguised Murugan (regarded as one of the guardian deities of the Tamil language), 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, targeted at children. These works, even after a millennium, are often among the very first literature that children are exposed to in Tamil Nadu schools.

Oh, yeah yeah yeah, oh, yeah
You know I'm comin' though hotter, drip sweat meltin' ya collar
Afu-Ra takin' care like I'm ya father
Some call me papa though I'm rollin' with the rastas
Straight up and down, I'm like the sauce over the pasta
I'm well connected to all my people's doin' salsa
One of my trademarks, you'll catch me drinkin' Malta
You need some paprika to freak the
I let you know I came through just to reach ya
I do it one more time, bless this feature
Will take with nothin' unlike self I mover
Heat it right up, burnin' like it's lava
Test you leavin' with hoes like Godfather
Sounds soakin' off honeys like it was lather
Study lessons and plant seeds to nurture
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, Life Force'll make you move with this
No hay nada, que me sostenga
Yo estoy lista, para desfrutar de ti
Quiero tu calor, arridedor, de me ser
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you, oh oh oh
Said, there's just nothin' when all I want [Incomprehensible]
Sound Bombing number one right, hate blow it like it's dynamite
Destined to keep ya molecules shakin' right
Flippin' my script as if I was a gymnast
I'm fusin' coasts together like I'm a chemist
Ayyo, you leavin' the party, yo, it ain't finished
A dred shakin' so hearty, so what's your business
You callin' my cell phone, sayin', "Who is this?"
I throw it down to expand my interest
I take it higher to master engraver
You know the chicas want that papi chulo flavor
I do it for the north, south, east, west behavior
Wait a minute, hold up yo, yo, there go my pager
Beeper beepin', ringin', comin' from my celli
If ya ever had days like this, then tell me
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, Life Force'll make you move with this
No hay nada, que me sostenga
Yo estoy lista, para desfrutar de ti
Quiero tu calor, arridedor, de me ser
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you, you
Oh oh oh oh, there's just nothin'
