Agananuru 283

The friend-maid farewells her lady along with her lover during clandestine period with these hailing words.
I am applying my hands on your hair and shoulders, because, I am unable to spare you. But you are in eloping mood.
An old deer escapes from its termed ladies who feel for the loss; and play gently the music instrument, Kudukuduppai to call the deer back; the sound of which affects the passers-by. I am worrying you sending by this kind of route.
It was rained. The trees are budding. Velvet mutes are spread moving on budding grass. Enjoy them in your pleasant elopement.
tamed deer escapes 

A poem by: Madurai Marutan IlaNaganar
