The friend-maid consoles her lady.
Don’t be weeping; saying that I lost
my old beauty in my shoulder. Mother feels for this loss of beauty. The village
people are murmuring about my clandestine relation with him. They are happy
with this murmuring as the peoples go celebrating the victory of the king
Selian won the war against seven-kings-allay at AlanGanam battle field. You, my
friend, don’t weep, saying these words. He will not forget your beauty, even if
he crossed Venkadam region belongs to the king Pulli.
You have the beauty of the Damsel-sculpture
in western rock of the Kolli hill. The hill-region was donated to Chera kings
by King Kari after killing its Ruler Ori. Your beauty, as that of the sculpture
in the kill, he will never forget. Don’t be weeping.
