Natrinai 112

The hero assured the heroine that he will return when the rainy season starts. The season comes. But, the hero does not return. Heroine feels worry. Her friend-maid consoles her with these words.

In what way we are going to feast the rain that indicates the time of his return?

The tree Venkai  (Indian kimo tree or Pterocarpus marsupium) blossoms without buds. Honey beetles are singing around the flowers. Lion is roaming around after killing elephant without roaring. He is the Man of this kind of land.

Rain is pouring placing rainbow on mount, flashing lightning to flow deep water on ground from waterfalls.

You see my lady; this is the indication of your man’s arrival. Don’t feel, he didn’t return.

Honey beetle | சுரும்பு

 

Pterocarpus marsupium | வேங்கை
