It is the custom of Tamil girls not to
wear flowers on their head during the days of their husbands is away from them.
The friend-maid informs her lady about
her husband.
He went on the route were robbing warriors
roaming on. There will be hero-stones. It will be curved in the huge rock. The natives
celebrate the hero in stone applying turmeric paste, The hero in the stone is a
savior of stealing cattle, wearing Karandai-flower as a war-symbal.
It is a pleasant morning in the last
day of the rainy season. The girls will play Kuravi-dance with their clay doll
at the bank of their pond; the water in which is used to drink. They are the
girls of SiruKudi village, the patron Vanan lives. There will be water-lily flowers
in the paddy fields in harvesting stage.
“You my lady are shedding tears from
your eyes like that of the said water-lily flower. He, your husband is coming
to remove your tears. Don’t worry.
