| She hugs him |
This
is a poem with similes of historical events.
Be
happy, my mind. She has hugged you know. Be brimmed with joy as the vessel
filled with needed wealth those approached the King Mandaran Poraiyan Kadungo
for gifts. The king is famous in his gifts and victory. He will always appear
among the praising peoples who are benefited by him.
King
Nannan is a good in his rule and has an elephant symbol. With a statue of his
elephant there was a Ghost Godess temple in his capital Pali. The captain of
the king Mingili by name took oath to sacrifice the king Athigan’s head th the
God.
King
Athigan cherished birds. He is famous by his birds-firm. Mingili cut the head of
Athigan before the Ghost Godess as he vowed. Then he danced in the temple. This
news was spread and known by all people at that time. The heroine afraid of
spreading news of her clandestine love, hugged the hero openly as he is her
would be husband.
She approached
him slow steps. Her bangles are crystal in color. Her curling hair resembles
like sand-flow in river-bed. She came with her glittering jewels. She came in
the dead-night when even the fishes sleep. She appeared as an artificial statue
of beauty walking. She has garland in her neck. She hugged me so as I have some
impression of her bangles in my back. Then what else I need? Be happy, my mind,
the hero says to his mind.
