Purananuru - Part 89
“Woman of the caste of bards! With your shining forehead and your eyes
darkened by collyrium, with your simple manners and your sloping mons
glowing with a string of jewels, are there any who can fight in your
broad land?” you ask me over and over, king of an army that does battle!
Yes, there are warriors, young and strong, who are like snakes without fear
when struck with a stick and also there is he who whenever he hears
the resonance of the wind striking against the clear-voiced eye
of the tannumai drum wrapped with leather straps
and hanging in the courtyard shouts “To war!” and he is my lord!
