The friend-maid
of the heroine advises the hero to come in day-time to enjoy her. She explains
the causes.
You have
reached here crossing the lagoon water having crocodiles and sharks. We feel it
is dangerous. She is any time for you. We will be drying the fishes, her father
gathered in day-time in the park with ‘Punnai’ tree (Calophyllum
inophyllum ). There, you can come on your chariot
driving the horse. Let the wheel of your chariot cut the creeping plants ‘Mundagam’
and ‘Adumbu’. It will a kind of signal of your arrival. There a park with
pollen-bed to enjoy.
