Not to come in night-time; come at
daytime; you can enjoy your girl freely; the friend-maid guides her lady’s
lover, the hero.
You are coming by the route where the
elephant roams washing its wounds in rain that falls with snow-balls; the wound
that happen when it fights against a tiger.
You are a man of the mountain where
the water-drops arise up in waterfall as the smoke that arises in the fire when
the pot maker heats his pot in furnace.
Why do you come during night-time? You
can come at daytime. Her father will gourd his millet-yield from elephant
stealing at night time, having his spear in hand, standing on a raised Itanam-pillar-shed-platform
in the middle of the field.
We will gourd the yield at daytime
from parrots stealing, standing on the same Itanam-pillar-shed-platform. You can
join with us enjoying. You can enjoy your girl on her hair-bed wearing water
lily flower gathered from fall’s pond.
You can return home in the evening
without knowing other-gourds as the stealing elephant escapes.
Please fallow.
