My daughter,
eloping will be passing through the forest in spring season. Is she is strong
enough to tread on the stone forest; her step-mother feels on her daughter’s
tenderness.

| Eloping |
Tree
‘Vengai’ will be with blossoming flowers. They will gather the flower with
stem-bunch, make garlands and wear. He will deliver sweet words to her.
When
she was with me her nursing mothers feed her milk carrying in coral-cup. She used
to refuse to drink and run in a plying mood making step-sound as balls make
sound in jugglery.
She didn’t
care about her wealth in her parent’s house and eloped.
Captain
Elini catches cows’ family of other’s country. He defeats the warriors famous
in archery in a forest. Now my daughter will be passing through that forest. Is
she strong enough to cross the forest on feet, the mother is pondering.
