Love poem Kurunthogai # 331

Comparison of complexion 
My complexion is tender like that of mango budding leaves. He thinks wealth is better than my complexion. Have he decided to go through the forest fof earning? The way in forest is so bad that even bamboo plant dry (in summer), wild elephants roaming and gang of thieves waiting to the passersby to share their wealth after killing them.   

Words by    - heroine
To whom    - her friend-maid
Context       - when the hero is away earning.  
          
Author of the poem is Pirama-thattan
2nd century B.C.
