Agananuru 199

The hero says to his mind as follows:
It is the forest where the wind lashes as the wave’s dash in sea. The elephants went crazy by the wind feeling the flowers are falling from Maram-tree. The elephants will be roaming want of water. Deer rest under the shadow of the tree having branches with spider-web. Having cheated by the mirage water they will be in worry. Dholes chase the deer hunting. The female deer will cry. The male call its family for safety.
You, my mind! You feel to cross such a forest is good to earn. That is your ambition, I know. You want leave my lover’s shoulder in waste.
King Nannan fought in the field VagaiPerunDurai and died. The victorious King KalanKaiKanni NarMudiCheral annexed his region under his control regaining from Nannan’s rule.
Even, if I get a wealth as that of the victorious king regained, you, mind, I will not come with you leaving my girl’s sexual gift.
