Natrinai 110

She behaves to elite her family with her husband leaving her parent’s fame aside.  
When she was young in her parent’s family she used to refuse to drink the milk mixed with sweet honey. Her step mother tried to feed her it having in a gold cup. While she refused to drink, the step mother threatens her with a small beating stick, to eat. Even then she refused to drink and plays running all along the thatched shed making sound in her anklet (Silambu) in leg filled with pearls. She has born in such a rich family.
Now, she is leading a poor family with her husband. It is suffering from poverty. She has received some food from her parent’s house. She refuses to eat it. To solve the poverty, she starves one time and postpones eating it another time.
Where she has learned such a proud of culture and appreciating habit, the mother astonishes.
சிலம்பு | Silambu | Anklet 
 
Poet: Podanar (meaning – a man of blooming flower)
Poem belongs to 2nd century B.C.
