Answer to Question #298257 in English for garg

Question

Discuss briefly the notions of chasticity in cillapatikaram.

Answer 1

In Cilappatikaram, her token of “femininity” is taken away, she is all the more fearsome when this happens. And yet again, we see that the woman is rewarded when she is chaste, when she chooses to throw away her femininity. She doesn't need it anymore, it seems. Even though Kovalan is gone, she must remain loyal.
