Natrinai 288

He is the Man of hill country with waterfalls; and peacocks male and female dance together to enjoy the morning sun. My forehead became sick pondering my man’s arrival. My mother reading my sick without knowing the cause arranges for external human voice of omen placing paddy budding carried by elderly women on a common yard. My love started when I happened to see the man when I was guarding the yields of foxtail millet in the mountain field. Will the omen says the truth?
The lady asks her friend-maid.
 
peacocks male and female dance together 
Poet: Kulambanar
This is a poem of second century B.C.
