Friends:

I don't know bhaagavataM,
And
I don't remember baalagaMgaadharM
but this cATuvu, I learned as a teenager!
Well! dhammillaM, I remember
was in the poem!

It was told that a scholarly poet who after having a great
time with his woman composed the poem. Not all of it really, only three
quarters of it; he did not know how to fill in the last line. We should
be a little more blunt and say, heck, he did not have the foggiest
notion on what a woman does after love making! They say the last line
has been completed by his teenage niece!

mrudutalpaMbu vikaaraleela digi dhammillaMbu cEbooni raa
gada drugjaalamu tODa kaunu nuliyaMgaa mOmu maarveTTucuN
vadalaM baarina neevi paTTukoni kanyaaratna mapDege -[ta
tsadana bhraajita ratna deepa kaLikaa staMbhaMbu kreeneeDakuN]

The line in the parenthesis was what the niece did!

Moral: After all, a woman always knows it better!!

Regards.
