வாராக்கால் துஞ்சா வரின் துஞ்சா ஆயிடை
ஆரஞர் உற்றன கண். (93)
Constant thinking of love, continuous weeping and sleeplessness reduce her body and she appears pale and sickly. Her pallid colour becomes the topic of the talk of her companions and when questioned by them, she answers that the pallor of her body is due to her consent for the departure of her husband and the blame therefore falls on herself. Further she says that in spite of her mind always remembering his words and herself speaking very eloquently of his loving qualifies, the pallor stealthily spreads throughout her body. One of her friends accuses her husband of negligence for causing the pallid colour over her person whereas she being unable to brook it, prefers herself to be called pallor provided her friends refrain from accusing her husband for unkind desertions.
