Agananuru 88

The gentle man who endows bliss to you is traveling through a dreadful route to reach here. Let you give him your lust. The friend-maid advises her lady.

Millet field

Porcupine 

The millet was yielding in the fired-ash-field. The porcupine used to come to eat. When it comes the lizard will make sound alarming. The porcupine will wait for the lizard sleep and enter into the field to eat. The farmer was guarding the field from destroying animals being on the woo-shed’s top with fire in hand. The gentle man used this chance; came to you and enjoyed.  

It was the time in which he gave you bliss.

After the enjoyment he has to return back home through a dreadful forest. There will be tigers. The strong elephant will kill the tiger. It will be in mad with lust-feeling. There will be kind of beast ‘Asunam’ by name which will kill the strong elephant. The Asunam-beast will make sound sweetly as that of a melodious musical sound played in ‘Yal’ instrument, to get the animal-prey by trick. The elephant will hear the sound cautiously to pass through.  

There will be bear in the bamboo forest. It will tread on killing snakes. It will dig the ant-hill searching white-ants to eat.

He has to pass through, such a dreadful route. We are afraid of his safety.
