Spgm 039 - Devandhi Consoles Kannagi

"You've always been a faithful wife Through out your married life. A vow in your previous birth You fulfilled not before death." "May that sin be gone forever. And this is my humble prayer. We'll go to the flowing Cauvery River. And have a dip in Soma and Surya Waters." "We'll go to the Kaman Temple, And there do a ceremony simple. Thereafter you'll live with him Be sure, no doubt, all the time." Thus spoke Devandhi to console her. Also she promised to accompany her. As their lovers both had lost, They tried to regain the paradise lost. KANNAGI'S REPLY. Her talk when Devandhi finished, Kannagi slightly admonished, Saying, "The way isn't this, That will bring credit to us." KOVALAN RETURNED BACK. While this conversation was on, There came her husband Kovalan. Straight he went to their bedroom. He then revealed a picture gloom. "In the company of a cheat, I lost all my glory and asset. I feel delicate to come here Having lost I had whatever." SHE OFFERED HER ANKLET. In her bright beautiful face, Of bitterness there was no trace, But a sign of joy she showed, And her anklet she offered. KOVALAN'S FUTURE PLAN "Listen my dear, I'll invest This anklet as capital first. I'll get back the lost fame, And restore the family name." "In Madurai City we'll find An opening of some kind, And there let us search Our fortune when we reach." Before the day break, in darkness They left for Madurai in distress, Their livelihood to find out, Their distant fate knowing not.
