Transliteration

vakṣyántīvedā ganīgánti kárṇaṃ priyáṃ sákhāyaṃ pariṣasvajānā́ | yóṣeva śíṅkte vitátādhi dhánvan jyā́ iyáṃ samáne pāráyantī

Translation

അവൾ സംസാരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ കാതിനരികിലേക്ക് അടുത്തുവരുന്നു; പ്രിയസഖനെ ചുറ്റിപ്പിടിച്ച് ആലിംഗനം ചെയ്യുന്നു. കന്യകപോലെ വലിച്ചുനീട്ടിയ ധനുസ്സിനെ അലങ്കരിക്കുന്നു; ഈ ജ്യാ സമരത്തിൽ ഒരുവനെ കടത്തിവിടുന്നു.
