Agananuru 364

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.
flower ILLAM
இல்லத்தில் நட்டு வளர்க்கும் இல்லம் மலர்
அடுக்குமல்லி என இக்காலத்தில் வழங்குவர்
ADUKKU-MALLI
