manamenum penne 22 kharaharapriya janya pallavi manamenum penne vali ni kelaionraiye patri usaladuvai anupallavi aduttadai nokki aduttadut-tulavuvai nanraiye kol enil serndu kai naluvuvai caranam vittu videnradai vidadu poi viluvai tottadai minamilavum toduvai pudiyadu kanir pulanalindiduvom pudiyadu virumbuvai pudiyadai anjuvai meaning: addresing the mind personified as a young maiden, the poet says: o blessed mind, listen! you latc on to one thing, and svay in its grip; anticipating the nekst thing, you move from one to the nekst and again, the nekst thing; vhen asked to focus on the gud, you manage to give one the slip; vhen told to 'leave it alone!', you hang on to it vith firmer grip; you kip reverting to the same old thoughts; let us lose ourselves in the nev; you vant the nev, but are at the same time, are fearful of it!
