But just cast a loving look at her husband there!
aliapasuttaa vinimiliaccha de suhaa majjha oāsam / gamdaparicunvanāpulaiamga na puno ciraissam 1/ (1-20) By feigning aslccp tire not thy eyes in vain; Make me room a little to be by thy side, Ah! Here are prickles on tny cheek so lightly kissed; By my heart, darling, I will not tarry again!
(8) kallam kira kharahiao pavasihai pio iti suvvai janammi / taha vaddha bhaavai nise jaha sc kallam cia na hoi !1 (1-46) "My husband is to travel away tomorrow' Is the news outside afloat; Ah! He's stone-hearted.
revered Night, I pray, lengthen thyself To the extent that morrow does't turn up for him!
vajjavadanairikkam paino souna simjinīghosam / pusāi karimaric sarivamdiņam pi acchīm /1 (1-54) Hearing the bow-string-iwang excelling the thunderbolt, The captive woman marked it as her husband's own ! Puffed up with joy at thc close of calamity, She wiped away tears of her co-captives too!
(10) dakkhinnena vi esto suhaa suhāvesi amha hiaām / nikkaiavena jānam gao si kā nivvui tānam // (I-85) Out of courtesy, () favoured one, you came to me today; And yet it gives me so much pleasure, What vast bliss must they's be enjoying, they Whom you approach without any deceit?
