Love poem Kurunthogai # 292


Lover is waiting for her outside. Her friend speaks aloud these words.
Once he (male lover) came to her (female lover) house as guest. At that time he glanced at her. Her mother watched this event. Then afterwards she is cautiously watching her daughter’s movements. So the lover-lady becomes in a critical position. So her friend posted course on her mother she would have suffer in the Hell after death.
How she would have suffered? A historical event is referred.
A girl was bathing in a river. An unripe mango came floating on the water. She took it and ate. (Image - she is eating mango fruit) According to the king NANNAN it is a crime. He sentenced her death. Her relative appealed king they are ready to pay fine 81 male-elephants and gold equal to her weight. The king did not agree. His verdict was executed. Then afterwards the people called him “NANAN of girl-killer”. After his death the king suffered in Hell.
As the king suffered the mother would have suffered in Hell, the friend-maid utters.
