Purananuru - Part 354
The spear with its heavy shaft is plunged into water and her father,
though kings advance against him, will not yield. Since his foremost
warriors have gathered, he sends them on ahead so that he may bathe.
The elegance of this city where the young girls play in the water
of a reservoir at the entrance to all the fields of paddy and then return
to their wealthy homes carrying scabbard fish which leaped from that water
because of their fear of a crane catching carp—will it be destroyed
by the innocent and joyful gaze of the woman whose arms are as graceful
as bamboo with its large joinings, whose high breasts
rise in their beauty and are spread over now with the spots of puberty?
