Agananuru 166

Village VelurVayil was famous for toddy and paddy in those days. It is the Deity in the village VelurVayil that awards death punishment to those who lies. The hero enjoyed a concubine playing in river Cauvery flood. But to console his wife he lies saying “I do not know the girl, you are angry on her”. He promises on the name this Deity. The concubine converses with friend-maid saying “If he says to his wife that he did not know me at all, and then who played yesterday wetting me in Cauvery River”. He is lying.
