May you live long, oh heart! You desire to earn wealth, without any consideration! You dont understand the life of separation from my pretty woman with fragrant hair adorned with athiral flowers from dark vines, tied together with pāthiri flowers with new, pure petals. You have no kindness. I will not leave the sweet embraces of the woman with pallor spots on her breasts, even if I were to earn wealth equal to that donated by the very charitable king Ōri, victorious in harsh battles and a leader to his warriors. That wealth is not as great as her love. You can leave by yourself if you crave for wealth.

I was afraid and hid it. Did mother know about it? Is she gracious because of it? What was she thinking, oh friend? She said to me, In the middle of night, heavy rains with roaring thunder fell on the mountains that rise up to the sky and flood waters flowed in the forest stream with rocks, carrying dried leaves and clusters of flower buds. The new sweet water will be a cure for her trembling, if you both go and bathe in the freshets without hatred, drink the water and enjoy the scenery.

Oh white heron with pure feathers and black legs! You love to dive into the ocean with your flock and eat abundant fish! But please listen to me! This evening time brings me great sorrow! If you understand the reason for my pain, and since you are very kind to me, please let him know clearly of my distress without treating me as being of differing mind, the man from the shores with kandal tree fences, where sapphirehued sides of clear waves lap gently against young gnāzhal trees with tender leaves that are ready to be plucked by those who wear leaf garments.

Oh man from the lofty mountains! May your truths be ruined! You came at night not caring about great dangers on the small stony paths with bamboo, and embraced her chest with bright spots, after which sixlegged bees swarmed her shoulders endlessly. Mother looked at her with her killer eyes and asked, Is this how it was in the past? Unable to reply, my friend looked at my face in sorrow. I realized that she could not explain it away.

cents from tiny buds and fragrant flowers of shorttrunked kuravam trees, raised by bees that swarm them, mix with the fragrant breezes at this time, giving great joy to the eyes. But my sad heart went away to him, the man who caused the bright bangles on my arms to slip down. Is my sad heart, that desired to be with him to help the cruel man in his tasks, desiring to return only with him? Or did it come back, and on seeing my body that had lost its prior beauty and had become the color of gold, said, She is now a stranger, and left?

She is like a waterlily flower in a shallow pond stepped on by a white heron that ate abundant fish in the lonely evening time, when distressing northern winds blew. Her pain is like that of towns from which salt merchants move away with their relatives in a line of carts, crossing white sand that is like the white moon, after selling salt that they got in a seashore town in return for the white paddy harvested in their town with fields.

The moon has vanished. It is dark now. Your rich mother, who protects you resembling a statue, is asleep in your huge house that appears like a painting, is asleep. Come! Let us go slowly and see him, my friend, so that you can embrace his handsome chest. He has come alone, at this time when dew causes pain, like a huge bull elephant with a small head, that escaped its keepers who guard it from above and below. This is like getting back jewels that were lost.

When the blacknecked, male house sparrow came back after he had been with a female sparrow from another land, his female saw in him signs of infidelity, sat with her many young chicks that looked like closely set eengai flowers, and refused to let him into their nest. He stood out in the rain, got wet and trembled in the cold. After some thought, and out of compassion, she pitied him with a soft heart, and invited him in. Such was the helpless, confusing evening time with sweet sounds of trotting horses pulling the brave warriors chariot, chopping the plants in the ground. Now her beauty will return to her!

I am caught in the middle of their enmity, and distressed like the punnai tree that was chopped by able Anni in a war with Thithiyan, greater than him, which ended enmity between two great kings.

Yesterday, my capable young daughter beat on her belly, threw her ball down on the ground, and abandoned her doll, since the cow that had given birth to a calf ate the vayalai creeper that grows in our home. Her looks were those of a confused deer. She would not drink the milk and honey that her foster mother and I gave to her. Today, listening to the lies of a young man with black beard, she went on the wasteland path they say, laughing with her beautiful white teeth that are like the tips of peacock feathers.

Kings who protect the earth praise him. Desiring pleasure, hell not share land with others. Goaded by the thought that he rules too little land, his motivated mind is uncontrollable. He is greatly generous. O sun which goes rapidly in circles! How can you compare yourself to Cheralathan with a murderous army that fights battles? You shine only during the day. You leave, showing your back. You come from different directions and hide behind the mountains. You spread your many rays and glow during the day in the wide, vast sky.

We are ready to shoot volleys of arrows! May he with martial courage, whose flags flying on his murderous elephants throwing shadows on the sky, our king Kudumi, live for long, more days than the number of sands on the banks of Pakruli River with fine water, where his ancestor Nediyōn celebrated ocean festivals, and gave musicians fresh, reddish gold gifts!

You are not confronted by warriors, but only by your women who lead faultless lives, giving endlessly to guests without a break, food, fragrant with seasonings and cooked with nectar.

The elephant has gone into rut and cannot recognize its keepers. May he return safely without ill health, the lord of the country surrounded by oceans as fences, a land with fatty fish and aged liquor, where farmers collect dropped feathers of peacocks when they gather sheaves of paddy!

O Greatness! With your large hands that reach to your legs, you impel your murderous, harsh elephant to ruin cross bars of protected gates, and control it with a decorated iron goad, as needed, and you rein your fast galloping horse, judging the depths of moats and staying away from them. You wear a quiver on your back. You shoot volleys of arrows from your chariot, scarring your hands with tight bow strings. You give precious jewels to those who come in need. In battles, your strength is like that of the vast earth. You are like Murukan in battles. Your chest distresses women. The hands of those who sing to you are soft since they know no stress, other than that of eating rice cooked with pepper, meat thuvaiyal and chunks of fresh meat roasted in fire with flowerfragrant smoke.

On the streets of your enemy countries dug up by your fast chariots, you yoked dull colored donkeys with white mouths, and plowed their protected vast spaces. You rode your chariot across their land, and the curved hooves of your horses galloping with their white plumes furrowed their famed, fertile fields where flocks of birds sing. You ruined their guarded ponds with your elephants with enraged looks, huge swaying necks, wide feet, and gleaming tusks. Given your rage, which one of these is greater in number the eager enemy foot soldiers who retreated in shame and live with blame, after they came with a desire to ruin your strength, brandishing their tall spears that throw shadows and beautiful shields made with bright iron, to fight against your army with shining weapons, or the number of huge fields where you have planted columns after performing faultless rituals prescribed by the four good Vedas, with precious sacrificial elements and abundant ghee? O Greatness, your valor is the proper theme for songs that celebrate invasions, performed by women singers to the beats of drums smeared with clay and tied tightly with leather strips!

Your sword reeks of flesh and your chest is donned with dried sandal paste, O Lord who is as fierce as Murukan!

Like flocks of confused birds that fly away and rest on mountains, shot arrows have lodged on elephants that are brought down, their large, hollow trunks chopped and dropped on the ground by warriors, appearing like plows. Women from ancient clans shed tears, on seeing their victorious warrior sons with parched heads lie in the field with their fathers. Kootruvan, embarrassed, pities the seven enemies you ruined.

Pregnant women in your country, when they crave, will eat only your soil that enemies cannot seize. You rule your country well with protected forts on which arrows rest.

Protected trees in the groves have been chopped with sharp axes in every town. Fires have been set and beautiful homes in large cities are consumed by flames. They say that you shame your enemies who see this, you are unapproachable, and that you do more than any other man. You have a huge army that dents the earth. You stood like the god of death and ruined your enemies at Thalaiyālankānam.

You linger in your enemy country celebrating loud festivals, and leave the eastern ocean behind you as the whitetopped waves of the western ocean laps the hooves of your horses.

Whether you want to kill him, or whether you want to let him go, you yourself should judge and understand what will bring you renown. Young girls wearing small bangles and long, rounded anklets filled with pebbles, are playing with gold kalangu beans on the high mounds, crushing the white sands on the banks of the cool Ānporunai River. In his guarded palace within tall fort walls, the sounds of protected trees chopped in his groves with axes with long handles and blades filed sharp by a blacksmith with strong hands, are heard. The long branches of the trees with fragrant flowers lie around, their former glory lost. The king is resting sweetly inside despite the sounds. Your drum decorated with a garland resembling a rainbow, roars! It would be shameful if you battled with him!

You attacked like roaring thunder with flashing fire that rose in the sky, that entered a cave with green vines, and attacked a fiveheaded poisonous snake with white fangs that had gone in. You have the skill to ruin this ancient great city with copper walls, where many vicious crocodiles gather in the darkness of the huge, deep moats and rush up and snap the light reflections of the night guards, in a fort where the king stays with his elephant with girdled cloth decorations. Great leader! Without considering this as wondrous, you are able to destroy with great strength in battle!

Babies scream without milk, women tie their bare hair without flowers and wailing sounds are heard from fine, wellconstructed houses that have no water. It is cruel for you to linger here, O Greatness with powerful horses whose strengths are hard to measure! If you are righteous, open the gates and tell him that it is his. If you live by martial laws, open and fight! If you are without righteousness or martial courage and just hide on one side within your high walls, your door with sturdy headers closed, it is cause for shame!

Many elephants died attacked by arrows, unable to perform their war duties! Many fine horses of renown have died along with warriors of martial courage. All the wise warriors who came in chariots have died, shields covering their eyes. The respected drums of kings, tied tightly with straps, hair on the eyes, lay ruined with no one to carry them. Chests of kings smeared with sandal paste have been pierced by long spears as they fought and died in the battlefield. What will happen to their vast countries with beautiful settlements and rich towns which used to have endless prosperity, where women pluck white waterlilies and wear them as bracelets, and eat fresh flattened rice and plunge into cool streams?

O virali wearing sparse bangles! Shall we pack our good yāzh, ākuli and pathalai drums and visit him who spends time on the lands of his enemies, after his herds of elephants have waged battles and vultures in the sky hover over fresh flesh? If we go to see our king Kudumi who invades enemy lands, we can eliminate our life of poverty eating watery gruel.

Clay drums have been forgotten, yāzhs that play music have been forgotten, huge pots are placed upside down and butter churning has been forgotten, farmers have forgotten their work, relatives have forgotten to drink beeswarming liquor, and small towns with broad streets have forgotten to celebrate festivals, since the ruler with martial courage is sitting facing north with his sword, to die, embarrassed that he took a wound on this back from a spear thrown to his front by a king, like the sun which hides behind the mountains in the evening time when the full moon appears, after both orbs in the sky look at each other. Day time with the sun will not be the same as before for me!

Did he forget his promise that he would not leave, that he made to me in Pothini hills, owned by the Vēlir king Āvi who was victorious in battles like Murukan, who owns elephants with broken tusks, and fought good battles against warriors wearing flower garlands swarmed by bees and bravery anklets, riding fierce horses? He said that we would be together like a whetstone created with stones and glue by a young worker. But, causing my thick arms, like bamboo, to become thin, he went away to earn gold jewels and wealth, passing through forests where the suns rays are like flame, the land is cracked, the temperature is painfully hot, trees are parched offering very little shade, fresh springs are dried with no water, boulders are hot, and even rice could pop in the heat. Since there are no travelers, wayside robbers are depressed, the wasteland is dull, and the wilted white flowers from the murungai trees are blown off by fierce, loud, twisting winds, the land looking like the fine sprays on top of the breaking waves near the seashore.

Oh man from the mountain where a naive male monkey drinks water from a big pond on an ancient boulder, not knowing that it turned to aged liquor with ripe bananas dropped from trees with thick leaves and large clusters of fruits, and sweet jackfruits that cannot be eaten in abundance because of their excessive sweetness, and stretches on a fragrant flower bed in bliss, unable to climb a sandal tree on which pepper vines grow, as he experiences unexpected pleasures which are attained by various animals! Are expected pleasures rare to you? The heart of my very beautiful friend with thick arms runs toward you, unable to be stopped. Such is her love. Her father has appointed a guard to watch her. You can come to her at night when he is tired and not attentive. The vēngai trees surrounded by verdant bushes have put out bright clusters of flowers and the great white moon reigns full.

Oh my heart! How can I get rid of my sorrow, listening to your words which are lies that sound like truths? You goaded me to bring jewels for the woman with lovely lips red like kavir flower petals, beautiful sweet words, and chosen jewels. Her eyes that differ from her curved earrings block me from leaving for the long and distant wasteland with kadampam trees with parched leaves, where a female vulture with a curved beak protects its new chicks, hidden from view, on a big branch of an omai tree with dark colored trunk and cracked bark resembling the rough skin of a crocodile, her confused mate with red ear flaps rises to bring her large amounts of food in the skytouching, splendid mountains, where a flesheating tiger has brought down a female marai deer on its right side, sucked its bright red blood with desire and left, its stinking flesh removed from joints scavenged by the vulture, like wayside bandits who plunder from those who travel.

Mullai flowers with pointed tips have appeared, thetra tree buds and buds of kondrai trees with green trunks have opened their tight petals and blossomed, a huge stag with antlers like twisted iron romps around and plays in the gravel pits, sorrow of the people in the wide earth has gone away, and clouds with lightning and thunder roar and pour down drops of rain. The forest has grown beautiful! Look there! Your man from the country with small mountains is on his way, to the east of Uranthai town which celebrates loud festivals. The reins, on the horses with trimmed, curved manes on their napes, are loosened so that they can run fast. Not wanting to confuse the bees that hum like the strings of lutes, those that live with their mates in the flowering branches eating pollen, the charioteer who does his work with esteem has tied the clappers of the bells. My friend with beautiful bangles! He is thinking about your fine beauty that has the fragrance of newly opened glory lily blossoms that grow densely on the very tall mountains. He will arrive soon!

My friend! It would not be difficult for us, to go in the middle of the night, on a path where a male bear uses his pointed, sharp claws covered by loose skin to grab the fungus combs that are on the wet side of a termite mound, ruining the strength of a snake that lives there, if there is someone to ask us, You with raindrops on your gemlike, fivepart braid hanging on your back, squeezing out water! Do you know your way in this place with ruined and blocked paths? while walking slowly on the sides, and not getting confused on the deer paths in the light from lightning flashes, in his country with mountains, where a big male tiger kills a boar and drags its flesh which reeks in the mountains dense with jackfruit trees on the slopes with noisy bamboo, a male elephant is caught in the slippery mud hole near thriving banana and valai trees and a female breaks and throws a big tree to help him step out and end his sorrow, and the sounds echo in the mountain caves.

Oh man from the fine mountain country where girls who guard millet make loud noises without a break, parrots talk back, squirrels play on big branches of jackfruit trees that have large fruits, huts that mountain dwellers have built to benefit from the ripe jackfruits are covered with honeyfilled vēngai flowers, and an elephant with spots on his face thinks they are tigers and runs in fear, breaking bamboo in the cloud covered mountains!

Pandiyan king with a chest desired by Thirumakal is adorned beautifully with two huge garlands, one with pearls born in his ocean, and one with sandalwood, from his mountain where he receives tributes from his enemies after battle victories, brought to him by mountain dwellers who worship the god who by tradition does not ruin devotees who live in his mountain. Other than the little time that he spends training elephants that are trapped in ditches, his army general Panni donates without limits to those who come to him in need. He is the lord of Kōdai Mountains, who owns many arrows with sharp tips. He performed rituals in battlefields. May you benefit like him with perfect wealth even if you stay away from your delicate partner at this time when clouds rise in the south and come down as heavy rains! Let it be that you wont get the pleasures of being with her in a faultless, pure bed with spread, on a cold blistery day which brings sorrow, when white herons call from sugarcanes with bright blossoms, and paddy spikes that rise from sheaths that are like flame tips, growing on split stems, sway in the huge, prosperous fields with boundaries.
