Madal is one practice in old tamil literature where a nayakan (lover) who has 
been cheated by the nayaki goes round the place with a drawing of the lover and 
says that he was in love with so and so person and that now she has refused to 
accept him. He hopes that atleast by hearing this the parents of the girl, or 
the king or someone will support him and ask the girl to marry him.

The two prabhandhams you are referring siriya thirumadal and periya thirumadal 
were based on this but it is different in many ways. It was sung by thirumangai 
azhvar. Azhvar hasnt sung the prabhandams like a lowkika kAmukan as said above. 
But azhvar sings with deiveka kadal in nayaki bhavam. Adiyen will write a 
separate posting about the same.
