Arunachala Kavi was a Tamil poet and a composer of Carnatic music and considered to be one of the Tamil Trinity. He wrote Rama Natakam, a musical drama based on the Ramayana. The music for this musical was composed by two of Arunachala Kavi's disciples, Kothandarama Iyer and Venkatarama Iyer. The songs contain many Tamil proverbs and sayings. There are hundreds of songs and viruttams (songs sung without thaalam) in the Rama Natakam. Many of these songs are used for performing Bharatanatyam tales from Ramayana.
Nee Uraippai Hanumane is one if the many songs in Rama Natakam. The Hero Rama speaks to Hanuman and asks him to specify few incidents when he meets Sita, so that she will not suspect him.
