c15.20

Here the instruments mentioned are muraśu, karaḍikai, kiṇai, tuḍi, perumaram, muruḍu, paṭuparai. Kiṇai seems to be beaten on one side only in the light of a line in Puranāṉūru.15 Karaḍikai is perhaps Sanskrit Krakaca. Paṭuparai and Koḍumparai may mean the same thing. Neḍuvayir is a long horn instrument. Vālvalai and varivalai are varieties of the conch. The instruments like Muruḍu and lute must be more for the camp than for the field.
