Her companion is persistent in pointing out that by her petulant attitude towards her loving husband, hatred which is allied to love, may of course enter in his mind, and however smaller in measure, it will mar the free flow of his compassion. The wife accepts the truth of the statement of her friend but excuses herself saying that though her frequent sulking disturbs his love, it rises high in the esteem of lovers. But at the same time she reiterates her conviction of the petulance in her behaviour before her husband that there is a kind of pleasure in the short severance from his sweet embrace, even though he does not deserve to be treated so.
தவறு இலராயினும் தாம் வீழ்வார் மென்றோள்
மகறலின் ஆங்கு ஒன்று உடைத்து (125)
