After the rain the chariot of my lover
is passing through the wed sand raising sound in the war-field as the band
music hears in dancing stage.
The forest appears in beauty with
hanging ‘Kontrai’ flowers as golden ornaments hanging. Flower ‘Tontri’ appears
as lamps in the forest. Along with them flowers Mullai, and Illam are blooming.
Ponds between rocks are filled with water enabling the beasts to drink water. Thus
the raining season starts.
By this time, my lover is in the camp
of war field only with the aim of victory for the king. He did not even think
of me. The evening time (when love raises) is also hitting me which I could not
pass.
What shall do? The lady asks her friend-maid.
