நாமே இடையுள்ள வாறறி வாமினி நாங்கள்சொல்லல்ஆமே மருதன் மருத வனத்தன்னம் அன்னவரைப்பூமேல் அணிந்து பிழைக்கச்செய் தாரொரு பொட்டுமிட்டார்தாமே தளர்பவ ரைப்பாரம் ஏற்றுதல் தக்கதன்றே.
In plain words
We ourselves know how it is with the waist. Can we tell them so now? She is like a swan of the marutu grove of the Lord of Marutu. Those who decked her with flowers on top did wrong, and they put a poṭṭu on her as well. To load a burden on one who droops of herself is not fitting, surely.
