சஞ்சீவி பர்வதத்தின் சாரல் was first published in the year 1930. Bharathidasan explains the superstitions of ignorant people through an episode in this poem. குப்பன் and வஞ்சி are lovers. Once they climb up the சஞ்சீவி hill. There were two herbs of rare quality on the hill. One herb, if eaten, will make one hear the conversations all over the world, while the other will make one see visually all happenings in the world. Attracted by the qualities of these herbs Vanji insists on eating them and they both eat.They start hearing the conversations of people of different nations, which reveal the presence of social differences in their countries. All the same the French are proud to say that their country is above such discrimination.

All of a sudden, they hear a voice commanding somebody to uproot and bring the Sanjeevi mountain to revive the breath of Rama and Lakshmana. Kuppan is frightened. Vanji, being a rational thinker, explains to Kuppan that his fear is based on superstitious belief. She says that he should realize that it is humanly impossible to do such things like uprooting mountains. Through this Bharathidasan further says that such superstitions are hindrances for the growth of the country. People should cultivate the conviction that only hard work can bring them good results.
