Agananuru 81

Hero informs his intention of earning away, to the friend-maid of his lover, heroine.
Irumbai or Iluppai Fruits
இரும்பை (இருப்பை - இக்கால வழக்கு) - பழம் 
Bear used to go in search of food. It will eat, enough fruits-‘Irumbai’ tree. When it feels, it is not tasty it will search for ants-prey in fresh ant-hill.  
That is the season with hot sun. Eagles perking on ‘Asoka’-tree will raise their voice to catch prey that moves.
In such a dreadful forest you have decided to cross though.
Think of your lady.
She is as beautiful as the village ‘Vilangil’ the capital of King Kadalan who is also a philanthropist. Have you decided to leave her with tears? Ah!

A poem by: Sattanar of Alamberi village
The text is belongs to second century B.C. or earlier.
