Blessing the newly weds - “Live a long life acquiring 16 boons”
Via “Pathinarum Petru Peru Vazhvu Vazhga” 16 boons - “thudhi vaani veeram visayam sandhaanam thunivu dhanam madhi dhaaniyam saubaaggiyam bogam - arivu azhagu pudhidhaam perumai aram kulam novagal pun vayadhu”
- thudhi = fame
- vaani = education
- veeram = courage
- visayam = success
- sandhaanam (santānam) = progeny
- thunivu = daring
- dhanam = finance
- madhidhaaniyam = valued grain(abundance of food)
- saubaaggiyam (saubhāgyam) = well-being
- bogam (bhōgam) = enjoyment of pleasures
- arivu = wisdom
- azhagu = beauty
