The lady
says to her friend-maid. You my Dear please hear. I am shedding tears in
distress thinking about him (her lover). My mother is trying to remove my pain in
a different way arranging a home festival to peace the God Murugan in an customary
thought that He has attacking me to suffer. Is it good? King Tennavan attacked his
enemies wearing his royal family flower Vembu and water lily on head and won. You
there is a waterfall in his country. Here in the festival in our house, the
band music is arising as the sound of the waterfall. She invites God Murugan praising
his flower Kadambu and his rider elephant. Some men and women are dancing rounding
their body with bunch of flowers and garlands in hand. Is it good? You know, my
lover used to come here in dead night crossing the mountain where Kandal
flowers appear cobras play raising their heads. I am worrying I thought of his
route. But my mother tries to remove my pain in a different way. Is it good?
