The Mataṅgi dancer.
A verse in āciriyaviruttam of nine metrical feet.
His shoulders are adorned with bewitching, lustrous sacred ash and armlets of snake kings held in graceful gesture;
he shares his body with the maiden of the mountain clan; he is the fragrant Spring King;
singing the splendours of his Aruṇai, the Mataṅgi performs circles with melodious dance upon the stage;
her shining, swelling elephant-like breasts are countless mighty tuskers engaged in furious battle,
causing the directional elephants to turn back!
