1116. Her mother says,
“Her soft arms have become pallid and gold.
Her fish-like eyes do not close and she can’t sleep.
She loves you beyond any limit.
I don’t know what sickness my beautiful girl has.
Her waist is like lightning,
and her lovely round breasts are swelling out.
What could have happened to her?
What do you think you can do for her,
O father, lord of Thiruvidaventhai?”
