Ali, Aali, Yaali or Yali is an animal
capable of killing tiger and elephant, having the mouth of these two animals. It
always kills its prey throwing on its right-side; not to fall on left. Once, an
Aali came to attack a tiger. An elephant already kicks the tiger by its tusk. On
seeing this happening, Aali attacked the elephant; removed its tusk sitting on
its face.
The heroine says to her friend-maid.
He, the hero does not hesitate to
cross such a dangerous forest to get me. He has nothing companion except his
spear in hand.
I am unable to tolerate his adventure for
my sex.
Tears are shedding from my eyes. What shall
we do?
It is raining lashing Ingai-flower
fall on. My mother is watching me in house arrest as the Lake-Watcher guarding
the bank of the lake in heavy rain. What shall I do?
