the streams which push in a large measure pearls, cilai (a kind of tree) and common cadampa make a loud sound;
the chief in Aṇṇāmalai where the drum, muravam, is played
without considering that there is water (Kankai) united with him which moves in the strong caṭai.
is it proper for him to embrace Umai who has naturally fragrant tresses of hair in which the bottle flowers spread fragrance?
