T he way of order -------- ( Kaniyan Poongundranar, Tamil, Puranaanooru, 300-100 BCE This universe is mine! And I belong to everyone Me the good and me the bad Me the pain and me the cure, And I neither am anxious about death nor beseech joyous living As when grieved, we patiently endure; For we deem, This overstated fragile raft of ours, Borne down on waters that lightening procreates with dark thunderous sky Descends and dashes down on rocky boulders Reaches the plain and ocean; This Great life, turbulence and raft Shall all sail destination as ordained by way of order …………… Hence forth   I may say Neither may we marvel at the greatness of the great Nor shall certainly despise the low estate! யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர் தீதும் நன்றும் பிறர்தர வாரா நோதலும் தணிதலும் அவற்றோ ரன்ன சாதலும் புதுவது அன்றே , வாழ்தல் இனிதென மகிழ்ந்தன்றும் இலமே முனிவின் இன்னா தென்றலும் இலமே , மின்னொடு வானம் தண்துளி தலைஇ யானாது கல் பொர

Rest you on me.

Rest you on me. Your family makes a living, killing at sea And you by getting into my body, Because those big warm unnatural bosoms are struggling on the thinnest waist of yours, Rest your waist on me. Your father kills with his huge grizzly net, Nonetheless you kill with your huge eyes cast like a net, As your slender unpredictable waist, thin like a “lightening” struggling with the breast of yours, Rest your waist on me. Your family makes a kill, riding a boat, living at sea However you kill with those long arched eyebrows, And as your slim waist is withering away with those unexposed firm breasts of yours,  Rest you on me. (Silappathigaram, Kaanal vari, Tamil Epic, circa 100-200 CE, Ilango adigal)
