Purananuru - Part 119
Where, during the time sweet to the eyes when the monsoon rains poured down
and the flowers of the terul vines bloomed like ornamental paint
on the faces of elephants, and there was curry with tamarind and sweet
buttermilk and termites from their red mounds and a wealth of soft millet,
there where the generous lord gave more than other kings with royal drums
to those who came in need to him, he who was like
a single tree on a long shadowless road—is that land ruined?
