The hero speaks:
Majestic are her huge breasts
Like the Immeasurable One`s Tillai Ambalam;
Her large eyes are sword-like;
Her forehead is a chip of the moon;
Her waist is a flash of lightning;
Her shoulders large are like bamboo.
If these be her body`s features
How then will her psittacine warbling be?
Translation: T. N. Ramachandran,Thanjaavoor ,1995
10. Eager to hear
Bosomy opulence as Tillai spatium of the Lord
Dear to measure by gnosis is hers;
So her round eyes are sword-sharp.
And forehead is but a chip of the moon
Full; waist a flash, shoulders lithe as bamboo;
Meet with these, more would befit her parroting
Translation: S.A. Sankaranarayanan, (2009)
