CHAPTER 133- VARITIES OF SULKINESS OF WOMAN.
***
133/01. இல்லை தவறவர்க்கு ஆயினும் ஊடுதல்
வல்லது அவரளிக்கு மாறு.

133/01. Illai thavarrvarkku aayinum oodudhal
Valladhu avarallikku marru.

133/01. "There is no mistake on the part of the Headman.
But his method of showing love makes me to avoid him."
***
Harjeet: She has now come to the point.
She says that he has no mistakes.

Chiranjivi: She now understands,
That his lover is quite nice,
But his method of loving her,
Is somehow sickening her.

She can as well train him
How to make love every time,
Now that she understands
That he's free from mistakes.

Generally male rough handles,
While female soft handles,
Perhaps this may be the cause
For their misunderstandings.
***
133/02. ஊடலின் தோன்றும் சிறுதுனி நல்லளி
வாடினும் பாடு பெறும்.

133/02. Udalin thondrrum siruthuni nallalli
Vadinum plaadu perrum.

133/02. "At the sulkiness moment of a woman
Her lover's mercy she may not get,
But it'll give her pleasure later on."
***
Harjeet: This is a practical advice to every married girl.

Chiranjivi: Animals have no code of conduct.
Human beings are not like that.
Moreover they're highly educated.
So, their behavior must be very good.

In every man's married life,
While dealing with his wife,
He must first understand,
Her feelings, as her husband.

Both have equal rights,
In the domestic duties,
Except for some minor variations,
To suit the special needs of each sex.

133/03. புலத்தலின் புத்தேள்நாடு உண்டோ நிலத்தொடு
நீரியைத் தன்னார் அகத்து?

133/03. Pulaththalin pluththollnaadu unndoa nilaththodu
Neeriyaith thannaar aghaththu?

133/03. "Just like water gets leveled with the earth,
The pleasure from having love naturally with the lover,
Is there any heaven like this? No there is none."
***
Harjeet: She has now found what heaven is!

Chiranjivi: She quotes water levels,
Wherever in the earth it settles,
Like this, she gets pleasure
In the company of her lover.

Water adjusts its levels,
But here wife is like water
Or husband is like water,
One will have to guess?

Let us take husband
He's quite prepared
To adjust like water
To maintain peace better.
