| ILAVU (Ceiba pentandra) இலவங்காய் |
Her morning look is appearing in mind
even when I am being away in a distant place earning, the hero says to his
mind.
Deer eats raw ILAVU (Ceiba
pentandra) fruits upping
its front feet. These fruits are falling on the rock. This is the route where I
am passing.
I informed her, my lover, my decision of
going to earn by this route.
Tear-balls roll in her eyes resembling
the petals of water-lily. She hides her tears by her combed hair.
She weeps like the blowing sound heard
in the battle field when King UDIYAN fought.
Such of her sad face is still I mind
when I am in a distance place.
Poet: ILAN-KIRANAR
Poem belongs to 2nd century
B.C.
