மாமன் மகனே மகராஜா எங்களைய்யா
காதல் கிளியிங்கே காத்திருக்கச் சம்மதமோ
Cousin, Emperor, our master sir!
Is it agreeable for the love parrot to wait here?

Leaving behind the golden deer
Who is waiting to adorn her hair with flowers,

படகு விட சம்மதமோ.....
Is it agreeable to sail a boat
On every river that you see?

Using vivid imagery of hunting, silver deer, golden luster, and mythological gods like Indra, Chandra, and Manmadha (Cupid), the women express their allure and romantic fascination while jokingly celebrating his charm.
