“Tamil:
மாலை சுற்றிப் பெண் பிறந்தால் மாமனுக்கு ஆகாது.”
“English Translation:
For a girl to be born with a garland round her neck is ominous to her maternal uncle.This மாலை may be either the navel-string or a thin membrane that covers the head, and which, sometimes decends like a ring, to the neck, it is then called மாலை, if otherwise முகமூடி a veil.”,
