கண்ணும் கொளச்சேறி நெஞ்சே இவை என்னைத்
தின்னும் அவர்க்காண லுற்று (104)
If her mind succeeds in its attempt to see him, she advises it in her innocent girlish tone not to succumb to his loving caresses but to make a mock quarrel with him which according to her line of thinking sweetens the pleasure of the meeting. In another mood, she asks her mind which is burning with desire to see her husband as to where it wants to go while he is residing in her heart.
Modesty and maidenly reserve are two prominent traits of the youth of the fair-sex. When the feelings of love are intense, self-restraint and womanly reserve are rendered too impotent to withstand. Even if the love is suppressed, anyhow it breaks out like a sudden sneeze.
மறைப்பென்மன் காமத்தை யானோ குறிப்பின்றித்
தும்மல்போல் தோன்றி விடும். (105)
