Profundity of Poongkothai

Referring to literary sources like Kongumandala Satakam and
some verses in the Ardhanareesar Kuravanji, it has been pointed
out in the publication of the Ardhanareesar Kuravanji that the
author Poongkothai hailed from Madurai and had a pastoral
background. She is stated to have asserted that the intellectual
prowess of women was in no way inferior. Her husband,
Emperuman, was also a poet,
credited with the composition of
Takkai Ramayanam.
