Bear
search food in red-ant hill. When the food becomes bore it will eat flowers in
Irumbai tree. Even I get enormous wealth easily passing through the route, you
my mind! I wouldn’t come with you leaving my lover in tears, the Man says. Yavanas
sails boats in River Sulliyaru (modern Periyar River). They exchange pepper for
their gold. Harbor Musiri was used for the commerce. King Seliyan captured the
harbor and brought the art wealth of Yavanas to his capital Kudal (modern
Madurai). There is a hill on the western direction God Murugan abodes. The hill
has a pond with blue water lily flowers. My girl has eyes like the blue
flowers. Leaving her beautiful eyes in tears in my parting, I wouldn’t decide
to go for earning in a distant place, the hero says.
