The friend-maid advises her lady’s
lover.
You are coming bombard in a chariot making
all the peoples in the street and village murmur. You speak politely to earn my
lady’s love.
Sacred fire flamed in Sellur village
in memory of victory ceremony; king ‘Maluval Nediyon’ destroyed the elephant
force of his enemies. He erected a pillar in memory of his victory. It was tied
with ropes. All can view the pillar from a distant place. You, my lady’s Man
have brave chest like the pillar; she only can attain. But, at present, it is
unattainable to her because you come here rarely.
Paddy fertile village Unur is a bird sanctuary.
As the birds enjoy mating there, you enjoyed my lady.
Seashore village SaiKanam (SaiKadu) is
rich of paddy in field and fishes in sea. As the paddy and fish become wealth
of the village, you and she are friends in love.
The play-mates wonder the beauty of my
lady’s shoulders leaning. Let me know to save the beauty of her shoulder; not
to lose the beauty by your absent.
