Your lover (heroine’s
lover) mounting on chariot, is coming on the sand of the seashore where your
father used to return gathering fishes in sea. This is the message, the
friend-maid conveys to her lady (heroine).
Shrimp will be white in color as that
of the fruit ‘IRUMBAI’. Fishermen of the land will spread net on sea to gather shrimps
along with other fishes. Their children will run behind the deer chasing the mirage-water.
The fishermen will return pulling their boat filled with shark and other
fishes. The rout in which the boat will return, the lover’s chariot is also
coming. It is dangerous for love-affairs. What we shall do, she asked.
