Love poem Kurunthogai # 375

Musical instrument 
small ‘thondagam’. 
Classical name 
‘thudi’. 
Modern name 
‘udukku’
I think, it is better that he should not come to meet you tonight. Because, the musical sound raised by beating ‘thondagam’ drum is always hearing even in midnight as the sound hearing in the field during cutting the yellow-millet ‘thinai’ in night time.

Words by        - friend-maid
To whom         - heroine
Context           - waiting hero is in a hearing distance (come neither night nor day time. Marry her)
Love 1 of 5     - union
          
Author of the poem is unknown
2nd century B.C.
