பொருநராற்றுப்படையில் மிகுந்த அழகான நிகழ்வுகளை கவிஞர் விளக்கி கூறுகிறார். குறிப்பாக, முடத்தாமக்கண்ணியார் பாடிய பாடலின் மகத்துவத்தை விவரிக்கும் இடத்தில், இசையின் அதிசய சக்தியை உணர்த்துகிறார்.
பாடல் இடையில் உறுதியும் பெருந்தகும் பொருந்திய பாணியில் பாடப்படுகையில், அதன் இசை ஒரு மயக்கம் ஏற்படுத்துகிறது. அந்த பாடலை கேட்டுக் களிறு வழங்கும் ஆண் யானைகள், தங்களது முரட்டுத்தனத்தை விட்டுவிட்டு அடங்கி விடுகின்றன. இது இசையின் அற்புதமான சக்தியை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது. அந்த யாழ், மணமகளை அலங்கரிக்கும் நயத்துடன் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டு, இசையின் பெருமையை தன் அழகினாலும் ஒலியினாலும் உணர்த்துகிறது.
பொருநராற்றுப்படையில் மேலும், இசையின் மேன்மையை ஒரு சமூக மாற்றம் விளைவிக்கும் சக்தியாகக் கூறுகிறார். திருடுவதற்காக வந்த கள்வர்கள், யாழின் இனிய இசையை கேட்டவுடன், தங்களது தொழிலையே மறந்து விடுகிறார்கள். அவர்களுடைய கல் போன்ற மனம் கரைந்து விடுகிறது. இது இசையின் ஆழ்ந்த தாக்கத்தை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது.
இசையின் பல்வேறு அர்த்தங்களை தமிழில் பார்க்கலாம். இசை என்றால் சங்கீதம்; இசை என்றால் இசைவு, சம்மதம்; இசை என்றால் புகழ். திருவள்ளுவர் கூட இதை மிக அழகாக கூறுகிறார்:
"வசையென்ப வையத்தார்க் கெல்லாம் 
இசையென்னும் எச்சம் பெறாஅ விடின்."
என்ற பொருள், உலகத்தாருக்கு புகழ்பெறாவிட்டால், அவன் வாழ்வில் பொருள் இல்லை என்பதாகும்.
மனித வாழ்க்கையின் உயர்வுக்கும் இசையின் மகத்துவத்திற்கும் இடையே உள்ள உறவை மிக அழகாக விளக்கும் ஒரு புகழ்பெற்ற சங்க இலக்கியமாக பொருநராற்றுப்படை விளங்குகிறது.
