***
111/04. நீங்கின் தெறூஉம்; குறுகுங்கால் தண்ணென்னும்
தீயாண்டுப் பெற்றாள் இவள்.

111/04. Neengin therroom; kurrugungkaal thannennum
Theeyannduip petrraall ivall.

111/04. "If I leave her, it is hot. If I go near and touch her, it is cold. Wherefrom she had this kind of heat?
***
Abhijit: There is a saying, that
Separation increases the bondage.
Naturally he feels the heat.

Manas: He feels its hot,
When he goes separate,
And he feels it cold,
When he is near her.

That love between them,
Binds both of them,
As single living soul,
With two separate bodies.

Love is not material,
But it is more spiritual,
In that their two souls
Merges into one soul.

111/05. வேட்ட பொழுதின் அவையவை போலுமே
தோட்டார் கதுப்பினாள் தோள்.

111/05. Vetta pozhudhin avaiyavai polume
Thottaar kadhupinaall tholl.

111/05. "Her cheek is like soft flower petals
And when I think of her shoulders
I get things for pleasure like that.
***
Abhijit: His imagination running riot it seems.
When he thinks of her shoulders, he imagines pleasures.

Manas: Human system is emotional
More than it is physical,
So, emotion gives him thoughts
Of his past experience.

It is called association of ideas,
When he thinks of her shoulders,
He goes back to his past experience,
And once again expresses his happiness.

It almost happens to everyone,
When he sees one thing
He gets back to another thing
Which he had already seen.

111/06. உறுதோறு உயிர்தளிர்ப்பத் தீண்டலால் பேதைக்கு
அமிழ்தின் இயன்றன தோள்.

111/06. Urrudhorru uyiurthallirppath theendalaal pedhaikku
Amizhdhin iyanrrana tholl.

111/06. "Whenever I touch her shoulders,
And her body, made of nectar, touches me,
My life gets charged with betterment.
***
Abhijit: It is a feeling normally anyone gets
When both are in the ocean of love.

Manas: Love begets love normally.
It is an inbuilt feeling generally,
When two lovers mentally
Live as one life happily.

It happens to all animals,
For that matter all living beings,
In their procreation functions,
Which lead to fresh arrivals.

There will be total extinct
Of lives on this earth
If there are no such feelings
Among different living species

Mankind is no exception,
To this kind of phenomenon,
That in the form of love comes
And induces lives to fully blossom.
