mAl enum matha vEzhaththu aLaviya kOdu pOl vinai aLavu aLavAna kUr mulai: because of their full to bursting breasts looking like the ivory tusks of a raging elephant called delusory passion and measuring the same size as their past deeds,

athin mukam mUdum Adaiyin azhakAlum thudi idaiyAlum vAlarkaL thuyar uRa: because of the beautiful cloth that conceals their bosom and because of their slender waist shaped like a hand-drum, young men are troubled;
