(The king sent Vasanthavai to console the queen, who was highly depressed over her son's death. But the queen became very hot with Manimegalai. The queen kept Manimegalai with her and ill treated her, but the latter didn't mind it. The queen regretted later and Manimegalai led her in the virtuous Path. The queen appreciated and became submissive finally.) VASANTHAVAI BLESSED Vasanthavai was an old woman, She was treated as a senior person In the royal family to give advice In family matters of importance. She was a well learned person. She used to console anyone In their distress or pain, On any such occasion. The king sent her to the queen, To relieve her mental pain, O'er the death of her son, And she did her best then. She didn't fall at queen's feet Nor o'er the loss she wept. She paid her respects as a routine, And then blessed the queen. VASANTHAVAI TOLD Vasanthavai told, "Oh queen, In the royal family once born, To die of old age or disease, It's considered a disgrace." "The noble death is one, That one dies in the fight to win, But the death of your son, Is it praise worthy one? " "The king is for the people. So, keep not your face painful Before him when he has to rule And has many problems to tackle." THE QUEEN'S VENGENCE The queen didn't show outside, But she kept her feelings inside. She wanted to reap vengeance And to the king gave her advice. "Oh dear, our son was unfit On the royal throne to sit, As he loved a holy woman Which act is forbidden." "She gave up her family life And chose an ascetic life. So, to keep her in prison It'll become another sin." RELEASE FROM PRISON The King told the queen: "The righteous path those who take The true subjects, they all make. Now you've understood this, So, better give her release." FREEDOM AND DRUG The queen replied: "With me she can stay, Or outside can go away, Now she can do anyway. None stands in her way." The queen took her, To the inner chamber, And silently gave her A drug to madden her. But it didn't affect her, As she knew her future, And she was quite normal Despite queen's act cruel. It was the queen's intention, To make her a mad woman, On the roads to get her beaten, And avenge the death of her son. TRY TO SPOIL "Then the queen called, A young man uneducated, And said, "Tell the public You molested this ascetic." For this, gold coins he took And he went inside to look, But Manimegalai took manhood When a mantra she chanted. The young man was panicky As it became a mockery. He suspected the queen, How inside she kept a man? " He ran out of the country Saying, "The queen's cruelty I've now understood well, It's nothing but next to hell." KEPT HER IN STARVATION "Why should I keep her alive When she let my son die, " The queen gave her no food And in a room kept her closed. The mantra to forget hunger Manimegalai chanted there. She remained safe and sound. This the queen then found. SURPRISE AND PRAISE The queen saw this surprise. She became quite nervous. She said, "For what I've done You must give me pardon." "In my distress o'er my son, I gave you this intensive pain. You're no ordinary woman, But a realized holy woman."
