Natrinai 287

The lady says about her position to her friend-maid.
He, my lover is the Man of the littoral land where water lilies blooms among their leaves in lagoons. I was happy when he came to me without fearing crocodile attack. I feel as a king feels being inside of a fort having enough warriors guarding the fort when even an opponent attacks with elephant force. Now my lover stops presenting. So, I am worrying. If I happen to hear birds’ sound at midnight when all the village sleeping, I take the sound as the bell sound in his chariot coming on.
