Natrinai 108

The friend-maid of the heroine advises the hero correcting his attitude. An elephant enters into the millet field and eats destroying the harvest. The hill-dwellers of the area gathered together to drive away the elephant. They came with bow and arrows to shoot, dram to make sound to dread and slang to throw stones for the purpose of driving away the elephant.
You the hero, the chieftain of such a hilly area! Think of your behavior. It is painful parting a mate even after enmity, you know. Please think, you are parting your lover leaving her to suffer with love-sick that appear in her fore-head greenish in completion. Try to marry her.

Poet: Unknown
Poem belongs to 2nd century B.C.
