c28.s8.t5.15

Cf. LT *uyttaṉar viṭāar pirittu iṭai kaḷaiyār kuppai-k-kōḻi-t-taṇi-p-pōr pōla* 'when fowl (foraging) on the rubbish heap fight among themselves, there is none to encourage them (to fight) or separate them (when they are tired)' (*Kuṟun.* 305: 5-6); the allusion by contrast is to what happens when an organised cockfight by specially trained fighting cocks takes place.
