Natrinai 314

There is no old man in the world who gains his last young age; how many days will I live, nobody can calculate; so, let me spend the night pressing your breast; saying these words, he did as he says. But, leaving his words lie, he went to the forest, where male-dove calls its female to join, sitting on milk hedge having fruits like pebbles.
I was in my makeup in my breast with garland made of Pittigai-flower; applying sandal-paste.
The lady feels saying these words to her friend-maid.
 
milk hedge having fruits like pebbles
நொடி விடுவன்ன காய் விடு கள்ளி
Poet: Naganar of Mupper village
This is a poem of second century B.C.
