Natrinai 218

The friend-maid pleads her lady to tolerate the loneliness when her lover is earning in a distant place. As a reply the lady says these words to her friend-maid. The sun sets and night comes. Bats are flying in the sky. The horse is neighing laughing at my suffering. The time he pointed for his return has been elapsed. The owl sounds hoo hoo sitting in Vembu tree. I am suffering from loneliness. Suppose the bird Andril will also call its mate in night sitting in Palmyra tree to enhance my sufferings.

owl hoo hoo
