மணியுள் திகழ்தரு நூல்போல் மடந்தை
அணியுள் திகழ்வதொன்று உண்டு (109)

முகைமொக்குள் உள்ளது நாற்றம் போல் பேதை
நகை மொக்குள் உள்ளது ஒன்று உண்டு (110)

Exceeding caresses, extraordinarily sweetened words and excessively rapturous em­braces and fervent kisses of her husband indicate that she should prepare herself to endure another parting in the immediate future. With care and delicacy, his departure is conveyed to her through her companion. The companion returns with the words:

தொடிநோக்கி மென்றோளும் நோக்கி அடிநோக்கி
அஃது ஆண்டு அவள்செய்தது (111)

i. e. “On hearing your departure, she did not utter any word but simply looked at her armlets, then at her tender arms and lastly she arrested her looks at her feet; this is what she did.”
