Agananuru 303

As the fish-farm cultivator transports the fish from drying to live pond, I like to be carried to where my man is, the girl says.
I am concealing my love-ambition when he is away to avoid others knowing my love. The peoples are murmuring about my love affairs openly as the waterfall in Kolli-hills under the rule of King PasumPunPoraiyan.
King Pari used to give gifts of elephants loaded with wealth of valuable jewels. When his Parambu-hill was seized, he used his termed birds to fly out in the morning; and return with paddy-yield-bunch in the evening. As the birds do, I hope, he will return. But it was not happened. You, my mind, clear your doubts whether he will return.
He will be passing through the hill where Damonmensch sounds like the bell sound of the oxen pulling the cart of salt-merchants on hill route. I want to join with him. You, my mind find out somebody to lead me there as the fish farmer carries fish from drying pond to live-water-pond.
