Natrinai 224

He is kind. Furthermore he is gentle. He is to come by this way, the season thinks. In order to welcome him, it is preparing itself. He is to come in latter-snow season. Tree Maram is budding among tender leaves in previous-snow season. The spring season graces him to enjoy again with his girl (me), through the voice of Indian-cuckoo (koel) sitting among buds. He made me believe by assuring ‘we will never be separate’. But leaving me alone went away though the forest where there is no water in ponds; and where there are hunters hiding behind trees aiming their arrows in bows. How can I covey ‘the season, you assured to return, has come’. The lady inquires her friend-maid.
 
Indian-cuckoo (koel)
