“She
is not well in mind, do you know”, the nursing mother asks friend-maid of the
heroine lady. The friend-maid reveals some hints.
Once we went to gather flower to wear.
There, we saw Vengai-tree with flowers. It resembles doted tiger. “Tiger,
tiger”, we cried.
A man appears. He is wearing a garland
made of water-lily on his chest. His hair-knot was decorated with sting made of
red-flowers. He has applied Sandal past in his chest to smell sweetly. He bears
shooting arrow in his bow. He spoke. “Where is the tiger beast, show me to
drive away”. We stood ashamed. He continued. “You, girls of beauty, is there
lie in your words, I wonder”. Then he disappeared. He is the ruler of the
mountain. Then your daughter pointed the direction to me where he disappeared
and said “he is really a Man”. Here is some information wise can read.
