706. “Adorned with lovely, auspicious flower garlands on the chest,
with peacock feathers in your hair,
your ears are adorned with a bunch of flowers,
and wearing beautiful, bright clothes ,
You played sweet music on the flute for the girls,
with hair adorned with fragrant kongu flowers
and flirted with them.
Won't you come and play music
on your flute one day to enthrall us?"
