Natrinai 152

selling Erukkam garlands
Erukkan garlands 
My sex feelings press me to ride on Palmyra horse. (It is a kind of custom to impress the peoples to make her lover marry with him.) It is the garland made by Erukkam flower, the rider wears. I am ready to wear it. The heat of the sun falls. Evening comes. North wind blows drizzling. The male Antril bird is raising its voice chattering to mate. In these circumstances I am suffering in loneliness. - The hero speaks aloud to hear his lover and her friend-maid.
   
Poet: Sattanar, Alamberi village
Poem belongs to 2nd century B.C.
