Another is acting as medicine To cure the disease. *** Dharmesh: This is only a mental disease In the name of love for which there is no medicine. Nilesh: He says, "Her two eyes' visions Show me different signs One my love sickness, Another medicine for sickness." "Earlier her eye vision Was like my death knell, But now her sweet vision Has reduced my pains well." Like this he narrates How he personally feels About his experience With her sweet visions. *** 110/02. கண்களவு கொள்ளும் சிறுநோக்கம் காமத்தில் செம்பாகம் அன்று; பெரிது. 110/02.

In love the shrunken eye vision looks more decent Than the broad eye vision. *** Dharmesh: The poet gives practical ideas about love. Nilesh; Yes, corner eye vision, Is better than broad eye vision, And in between these two is The shrunken eye vision. Initially her inbuilt shyness Keeps her eyes down And slowly she sees Thru' corner eye vision. Her direct vision comes Only after she agrees And gives her consent To their mutual alliance. *** 110/03. நோக்கினாள்; நோக்கி இறைஞ்சினாள்; அஃதவள் யாப்பினுள் அட்டிய நீர். 110/03.

That shows her consent, just like her watering plants." *** Dharmesh: It has come to the next stage of indicating her consent By silently bowing her head down. Nilesh: He says, "She narrows her eyes And now sees me in a trice, But keeps her head down, Indicating to me her sign." "It is a sign of her consent, That's how I take it, Like pouring fresh water O'er green plants there." He lets out again and again, What is in his mind hidden, And she shows her responses, By way of her several signs. ***
