[kangu] As marungul is sometimes shortened as marungu, here kangul (night time) is considered to be shortened to kangu, i.e., it is explained as darkness in night. In this case, it explains the duration. For example, when it is said &#8220;<em>dhaSa rAthram, saptha rAthram<\/em>&#8221; (ten nights, seven nights), it means ten days, seven days and so on.<\/li>\n<li><em>nuN thuLiyAy<\/em> &#8211; dense night and misty droplets.<\/li>\n<li><em>sEt pAla<\/em> &#8230; &#8211; In the night which stretches to be very long appearing like an eon which is long by nature. A thamizh teacher (learned scholar) who is compared to agasthya (in knowledge) explained &#8220;<em>kangul vAy<\/em>&#8221; as &#8220;<em>nALagaththu<\/em>&#8221; [this is to prove that kangul (night) is counted as a day].<\/li>\n<li><em>thUppAla<\/em> &#8230; &#8211; The one who has divine weapons which resemble both moon and sun appearing at the same time while driving out the darkness, has not come; to remove this darkness, we need moon and sun.

When someone is said to be pure, that implies that he is faultless,<\/li>\n<li><em>veN sangu<\/em> &#8211; Alternative explanation &#8211; both this and thUymai indicate the abundant nature of the white colour.

Now, she is not sleeping fearing the darkness; she thinks that they (mothers, friends) are watching her condition and remaining sleepless and considering the dhEvathAs as the refuge. Since they (animishar) are not sleeping even when the friends are sleeping, she considers them to be close confidantes and tells them. The dhEvathAs are recited along with the mothers in &#8220;<em>Ayum amarulagum thunjilum<\/em>&#8221; (if the mothers and the dhEvathAs slept).
