puguginra           entering
ammanaay!           O dear girl!

maaRRamum           Even a reply

perun^ thuyil       deep sleep
thaan               indeed
thandhaanO?         has he given it?

aaRRa               utterly
anandhal udaiyaay!  one who is overcome with sleep
arum kalamE!        you who are the jewel among us!

thERRamaay          having understood 
vandhu              come 
thiRa               open
