Natrinai 124

Flower Atiral
அதிரல் மலர்
She is unable to lead a life of melancholy when she and you (her husband) could not live together. You see bird Antril will cry until die when one among the life partner dies. Such a stage comes to my lady. You my lord don’t leave her to live alone without your presence. The impress of deer-hoof will remain on the sand floor. Flower Atiral will fall on the impression. Over that buds of Ingai will fall. The flower-fall over the flower on the hoof impression will seem as boiling silver metal in a clay-pot while melting. Again the falling scene resembles the clean water raises pebbles in early morning in pond in a winter month ‘Tai’ (halves of the month January and February). Please don’t leave her when her mind is boiling in gloomy mood.  

Poet: Mosi Kannattanar
Poem belongs to 2nd century B.C.
