Natrinai 238

Rain falls to remove drought. Bees singing in flowers as girls together chattering open the buds of Pidavam in the evening. Dashing clouds makes thunder. They are not favoring me gently because; my lover is not with me to hug. Thunder makes me shiver as it makes fall the rising cobra. He assured me ‘I shall return before rainy season; but did not. The lady speaks these words to her friend-maid blaming the clouds. 

Poet:  Kantarattanar
This is a poem of second century B.C.
