மதுக்குடம் போலே
இதழ் தரும் போதை
இனியொரு பெண்ணிடம் ஏது
A new kind of gesture
A soft and gentle stage
She is the messenger sent by the God of Love
புதுவகை ஜாடை
பதமுள்ள மேடை
இவளந்த மன்மதன் தூது
I am the one born from lightning
The one who danced upon those clouds
The one who surpasses the fragrance of flowers
The one who chants the mantra of bliss
நான் மின்னலில் தோன்றியவள்
அந்த மேகத்தில் ஆடியவள்
மலர் மஞ்சத்தை வெல்லுபவள்
சுக மந்திரம் சொல்லுபவள்.....
My body glitters and my dance leaps with energy
Who is the one who has conquered me, my friend?
கரும்பினில் சாறு ஸ்ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆ
அரும்பினில் வாசம் ஓஹோ ஓஹோ ஆ......

Fragrance from the flower bud, oho oho...
I am the woman who offered them here, oho oho...
கனியுடன் பாலும்
மலர் தரும் தேனும்
கலந்தவள் நானடி இங்கே
Milk along with ripe fruit
And honey offered by the flowers
I am the one who blended them all here
அலை போலவும் ஆடிடுவேன்
மலை ஆடிடப் பாடிடுவேன்
இவள் தேவதை யோகமடி
இது வாலிப ரகமடி...........

Metaphor (Uruvakgam)
“Kadhal thaamarai naanadi / Ivalantha manmathan thoodhusya badnaam, peenewale ko bhi kar diya badnaam. <b>(That who is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well)</b>. Now, note the dual meaning here: a) Saaki who herself is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well, b) The bottle of alcohol which itself is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well. Both interpretations fit perfectly fine. <b>What a thought process of the poet! Truly remarkable!</b> Now let's come back to original topic. As I have mentioned above, the Saaki gives the wine to everyone at the tavern. <b>What does that imply?</b> It implies that as everyone at the tavern gets the wine from the Saaki, similarly everyone gets love from God. God doesn't differentiate between people, he gives love to everyone equally. And we as human beings should also do the same. We should love everyone equally, without any discrimination. Because <b>LOVE IS GOD, GOD IS LOVE</b>. <i>Isn't it?</i> Well, let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. Until then, stay tuned! <b>CHEEERRRSSS!! </b>🥂😄 </div> <div style=”
