உப்பு அமைந்தற்றால் புலவி அதுசிறிது
மிக்கற்றால் நீள விடல் (118)
On the other hand the intelligent husband is fully aware of this feminine trait of coquettishness and its healthy reaction in his heart. When she is adamant in her caustic sulkiness-, he appraises her that it is worthy of the excellence of the noble qualities of the fair-sex in general.
நலத்ததை நல்லவர்க்கு ஏஎர் புலத்ததை
பூவன்ன கண்ணார் அகத்து (119)
On hearing these words, she gets frightened that he would neglect her to droop without installing the sweet thrill of joy by his warm embrace. She gives vent to her feelings that the leaving carelessly of the love of sulking ladies to languish is nothing but cutting away the tender root of an already withering creeper.
