Spgm 020 - The Highlights Of The Evening Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

(How Madhavi is found happy,
and Kannagi is left unhappy
one evening is highlighted in
this episode)

KANNAGI'S SEPARATION.

"Oh Sun, the Lord of the sky,
You spread all your rays why?
To illuminate the world
Under your threshold."

"The sole ruler, you're the one,
This under your great dominion,
All the lives, you control,
While doing your role."

"On a single-wheel-chariot you ride,
With your skill, up on the sky so wide.
Oh you, the setting sun of the skies,
You've our heart-felt praise."

"Now is the time for the moon,
After you set, for him to come soon.
But where can I find my lover,
Who's not seen at this hour? "

"The moon has to light the sky,
With all his cool wide spread ray,
But he's also not present,
Why is he now absent? "

Kannagi asked sun and moon why,
When she began to sob and cry
To get back her missing Kovalan,
Who was with Madhavi then.

THE EVENING CAME

The loyal subjects felt for their king
Who ran away leaving everything.
In the evenings, cried those women,
Who had lost their own men.

At the same time, some women
Were happy, who had their men.
Some men walking homewards,
Were playing flutes on the roads.

The southern wind chased away.
The bees when sucking honey,
From the open jasmine flowers
And blew their smell like showers.

In the town, the beautiful girls,
Who wore shining colorful bangles,
They kept in their house front,
The wick-oil-lamps at the gate.

The flourishing Pugar Town
A peculiar picture of its own
It presented in the evening,
That gave a mixed feeling.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE MOON.

Though young, one might be,
He can chase out the enemy,
In any battlefront he met,
To speak on his talent.

The deity of his king was moon.
He was so keen to see the moon.
Overcoming sorrows of the evening,
He won over his distress feeling.

The moon spread milky light
And made all places look so bright.
The popular Pugar received the moon
When the evening visited the town.
