Natrinai 214

Who takes rest always at home, cannot gain fame, bliss and satisfaction in offering to others. So I am leaving you here and go away earning in distant place. With these words he gets my concurrence to go away crossing many mountains. He assured that he will return back to you to braid hair with budding flowers before raining-season. You, my friend, look at me. My ornaments are slipping from their position. The rain with its lightning and thunder is humiliating me with its laughter. Suffering in mind, the lady speaks these words to her friend-maid.     

Poet:  Kosanar of Karuvur village
This is a poem of second century B.C.
