Agananuru 73

The lady seeming in sorrow reveals her happiness to her friend-maid. The lady appears with her clamoring beauty flashing her breasts in the torch of pearls-ornament between them. They are appearing as two eyes of a cat in dark. Her oiled hair hanging front makes darkness at her. She is a woman who is worshiped by the Goddess of Chastity.
Her friend-maid starts the conversation.
Pearl ornament as described in the poem 
“You are sitting in such sad position like this, but really not in that mood, is it not?”
The lady replies.
“I seem so. But it is not. Please watch there. The rain is pouring in the country where he away. It is the season in which he will return back as he assured.
There is lightning as the flashes of fire-wood rotated by a farmer in millet field, being in upper-shed, to drive away the elephants in night-time.
The farmer is a strong man as the elephant that cleverly treading cheating the Cobra sleeping.
Let us be happy as this is the period in which he assured his arrival.

A poem by: Erumai Veliyanar
