The Hub

[pavalamani pragasam]

Woman! wisely shall you these follow
Never did Nature mean you to be low
Nor are you to man in any way below
No base desires in your heart allow
Not in vain pomp and folly you wallow
Wade not in waters murky and shallow
Practise speech that sounds not hollow
Woman the world shall hasten to hallow
Be not in charity and benevolence slow
Thereof your inborn dignity shall glow
From you does life's sweet nectar flow
And cool breeze of divine content blow
