Agananuru 346

Your behavior is ridiculous, the friend-maid of the heroine says to hero when he returns home from concubine’s house. You are the Man of the village where crane bird is waiting on the stick-barrage for fish. You were enjoying in your girl’s (concubine) house without returning home. My lady, your wife took it easy. When you went there for the first time with your mediator-musician on your chariot, she welcomed you in joy. You drank with her family and enjoyed. It is ridiculous now you are here for your wife. KilliValavan the king invaded Madurai. He won the battle against the King PalaiyanMaran and seized his capital along with cavalry and elephant force. When he seized King KotaiMarban ridiculed on the event of defeating. As he ridiculed at that time, I am to ridicule you at present.
