This is the greatest eulogy of Beauty, as great as Christopher Marlowe’s eulogy of Helen ( All is dross that is not Helena) !
It is said that Cupid, Man Mathan
Despite his five arrows
Made thy smile his sixth arrow !
Anju Swarangalum
Porathe Manmathan
Nin chiri, punchiri
Saayakamakkee !
The Master of Music, Gandharva
Not satisfied with the Seven Octaves
Made thy speech the eighth !
Saptha Swarangalum
Porathe Gandharvan
Nin Mozhi
Saadhakamakkee !
Gold, despite its dazzling beauty
Yearned for thy ravishing cheeks !
Pathara mattum
Porathe Kanakam
Nin kavil poovine
Mohichu
Rainbow, dissatisfied with its colors seven
Thirsted for thy majestic beauty !
Ezhu Nirangalum
Porathe Mazhavillu
Nin kanthi nedan
Dahichu !
