The hero speaks:
She who is like Tillai
The Lord of which is Hara
Who rides a galloping bull,
Winks her eyes -- weapons true;
Her feet rest on earth;
Her flowers pure do wilt.
O examining mind in anguish steept!
Fair and great are her breasts;
Slender is her waist;
Broad is her bamboo-like shoulder;
She isn`t a goddess,
sure.
Translation: T. N. Ramachandran,Thanjaavoor ,1995
3. Gay resolve
Like as the Tillai of Aran’s leaping Taurus
Is she; her winking eyes are forces; paired
Feet tread on earth; flowers fresh
Turn fragrance fast; therefore, o heart aggrieved
In quest, Burdened with bosoms big, and fore laps
Broad, shoulders bamboo like, this fair- templed one is no celestial fair.
Translation: S.A. Sankaranarayanan, (2009)
