மலரினும் மெல்லிது காமம் சிலர்அதன்
செவ்வி தலைப்படு வார் (114)
The advice, suggestions and instructions of the companions and the influence of her intense love create a contrarians tendency in her. She thinks that her husband is indifferent and does not requite his love. When love kindles her desire, a regular conflict between her mind and action breaks out and she accuses her mind of its inconsistency and questions as to why it does not remain with her even on seeing that the mind of her husband never leaves him.
அவர்நெஞ்சு அவர்க்காதல் கண்டும் எவன் நெஞ்சே
நீ எமக்கு ஆகாதது (115)
She ponders over her plight and bewails that those who are economically ruined in life are deserted even by their close friends, and in like manner, her mind forsakes her and runs after him affectionately. In another mood, she sympathises with her mind and says that her mind is haunted with constant fear, because it is afraid that he may withdraw his affections and even when he displays his compassion, it fears that he would leave it alone
பெறாஅமை அஞ்சும் பெறின்பிரிவு அஞ்சும்
அறாஅ இடும்பைத்து என் நெஞ்சு (116)
