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. - [Previous: c15.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c15.19) - [Next: c15.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c15.21) - [Up: c15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c15) ## Cites (1) - [Puṟanāṉūṟu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sangam.eight_anthologies.purananuru) — Kapilar & Auvaiyār (Caṅkam), Tamil --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c15.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c15.20) · Pramāṇa
