Natrinai 230

He returns back from concubine’s house. His wife sulks. The friend-maid of the lady stops him entering into the house; and says.

You are the Man of land where water lily with leaves like ear of female elephant, buds like crane birds in pond, weight stems, fragrant blooming bud like rising sun and ponds with moving Kayal fishes.

Here your wife is sulking. You go again to your concubine’s house, there she will never sulk; and enjoy.

While she is suffering without your presence, you appear before her as flood spreads in field; that is enough for us.
