Agananuru 353

The hero goes on earning again says to his mind.
You, my mind, are it necessary to leave her again? If so think these words. Have you realize the dream after wake up on daytime? The day also pasts; and the next day comes. The young-hood also passes and old-age comes. Lust is pleasure and important. It is chance cannot get again. It is not clear to you. You are thinking to go in hot sun through the forest where male deer roams searching for water to drink with its female; eating no leaves; having no shadow to rest. Are you sure to go again in such forest? Guests are waiting in shed of the house. She, my wife is entertaining them. She has braided Pandanus odoratissimus
Flower in her hair and garland on her breast. She speaks few words of sweet in her smile. Have you considered her behavior?
male and female deer
