A judgment on a crime by experienced
aged men of a village
It is a field-yard where the farmers separate
the paddy and hay. While they are separating the dusts of the hay from the
paddy, the dusts flow by the wind and spoil the salt-fields and the eyes of the
salt-farmers. So a fight between the paddy-farmers and salt-farmers started. The
salt-farmers pick up the mud and throw on paddy savings and their owners. The paddy
farmers attack them with their hands. Good old aged men of the village
intervene between them and stop the compact. In this case salt farmers are most
affected people according to their judgment. So they punished the paddy-farmers
that they must entertain the salt-farmers with wine prepared in Marutam-flower
by which both of them were satisfied and rest in amicable settlement.
This phenomenon happened in Nilal
(Nidur) village under the rule of King Evvi. The hero of the poem enjoyed a new
girl who is as beautiful as the Nilal village with her beautiful breast and
face-cut on that day before. He requests the friend-maid of his wife to intervene
the conflict between him and his wife for which the friend-maid refused to
stand against her lady for his ill-legal deed with concubine.
Here, the friend-maid speaks to the
husband of her lady about the happenings.
