Love (காமத்துப்பால்) The Post-marital love
When suffering alone.
Thaamveezhvaar Thamveezhap Petravar PetraareKaamaththuk Kaazhil Kani
The women who are beloved by those whom they love, have they have not got the stone-less fruit of sexual delight ?
The bliss to be beloved by those they love who gains, Of love the stoneless, luscious fruit obtains
G. U. Pope, 1886
Vaazhvaarkku Vaanam Payandhatraal VeezhvaarkkuVeezhvaar Ala� Kkum Ali
The bestowal of love by the beloved on those who love them is like the rain raining (at the proper season) on those who live by it
As heaven on living men showers blessings from above, Is tender grace by lovers shown to those they love
G. U. Pope, 1886
Veezhunar Veezhap Patuvaarkku AmaiyumeVaazhunam Ennum Serukku
The pride that says "we shall live" suits only those who are loved by their beloved (husbands)
Who love and are beloved to them aloneBelongs the boast, 'We've made life's very joys our own.'
G. U. Pope, 1886
Veezhap Patuvaar Kezheeiyilar ThaamveezhvaarVeezhap Pataaar Enin
Even those who are esteemed (by other women) are devoid of excellence, if they are not loved by their beloved
Those well-beloved will luckless prove, Unless beloved by those they love
G. U. Pope, 1886
Naamkaadhal Kontaar Namakkevan SeypavoThaamkaadhal Kollaak Katai
He who is beloved by me, what will he do to me, if I am not beloved by him ?
From him I love to me what gain can be, Unless, as I love him, he loveth me
G. U. Pope, 1886
Orudhalaiyaan Innaadhu Kaamamkaap PolaIrudhalai Yaanum Inidhu
Lust, like the weight of the KAVADI, pains if it lies in one end only but pleases if it is in both
Love on one side is bad; like balanced loadBy porter borne, love on both sides is good
G. U. Pope, 1886
Paruvaralum Paidhalum Kaanaankol KaamanOruvarkan Nindrozhuku Vaan
Would not cupid who abides and contends in one party (only) witness the pain and sorrow (in that party)?
While Kaman rushes straight at me alone, Is all my pain and wasting grief unknown
G. U. Pope, 1886
Veezhvaarin Insol Peraaadhu UlakaththuVaazhvaarin Vankanaar Il
There is no one in the world so hard-hearted as those who can live without receiving (even) a kind word from their beloved
Who hear from lover's lips no pleasant word from day to day, Yet in the world live out their life,- no braver souls than they
G. U. Pope, 1886
Nasaiiyaar Nalkaar Eninum AvarmaattuIsaiyum Iniya Sevikku
Though my beloved bestows no love on one, still are his words sweet to my ears
Though he my heart desires no grace accords to me, Yet every accent of his voice is melody
G. U. Pope, 1886
Uraaarkku Urunoi Uraippaai KatalaichCheraaaai Vaazhiya Nenju
Live, O my soul, would you who relate your great sorrow to strangers, try rather to fill up your own sea (of sorrow)
Tell him thy pain that loves not thee?Farewell, my soul, fill up the sea
G. U. Pope, 1886
