Even though he goes beyond our country,
he will not stay there long time, don’t worry, the friend-maid consoles her
lady with these words.
Tondaiyar hereditary race ruled
VenKadam kingdom. It is a region with mounts and waterfalls. Beyond that
Vadugar people will live. They used to wear Atiral flowers on their hair style ‘Pittai’.
Early morning they indulge in cow-gathering of enemies by war. For fighting,
they drink wine made by the essence from the flower; and eat cooked white-rice.
There will be no shadow in their domain. Your man decides to cross such track. If
he goes there he will not stay there long time; and return earlier. You have
beautiful shoulder like that of bamboo grows in Kolli hills, the region under
the control of King Vanavan. Your man will never forget your shoulder he
hugged. Even if he gets ambrosia and its world, he will not stay there beyond
the limit of time. More than that, you have beautiful hair like sand flow in
River Cauvery in the kingdom of Chola kings, whose hand will always bend down to
give ornaments by donation. You have tender body of your own. He will never
forget the sweetness of all, your arm, hair and body; and return early.
