"Swamy," Goddess Parvati calls her husband in a frustrated tone and Lord Shiva opens his eyes with a jerk.

"Ennavaitru, Devi," he asks her with a concern as she sits next to him on the rock. (What happened, Devi?)

"Antha Devil seitha kariyathal ivargal thaniyaga iruka neeram kedaithu ullathu. Aanal avan ungal peiyar vaithu kondu ungalukku avamariyaathai undakugiran," she turns away in anger but Lord Shiva laughs. (They both have got some alone time together because of that Devil but this guy with your name is spoiling your name)

"Namakku thirumanam avatharku munbu naan kamadevanai erithathai maranthu vitaiyo, Devi?" She recalls the time when she was reincarnated as Goddess Parvati and grew up into a young woman. And to wake Lord Siva up from the meditation he started after her death as Sati, God Devendran sent God Kama but Lord Shiva burned him. "Athu mattum indri avanin muzhu peyar Sivakumar, naam magan muruganin peyar. Sola ponal avan peyaruku thaan avamariyaathai seigiran." (Did you forget that I burned Kamadev before our marriage? Also his full name is Sivakumar which is our son Murugan's name. So he is spoiling our son's name.)

"Vendam, Swamy. Nammathu magan iru manaivi kaaran. Enave Siva-vin peyaryil irukum antha Kumar avanin... maanudargal koorum second name, middle name aagave irukatum," she crosses her arm against her and he shakes his head at his wife with disbelief. (No, Swamy. Our son has two woves. Let the kumar in his name be his second or middle name as the humans calls it.)

"Enna, Devi, Ashwika vai vida meeyudamai unarvodu ullai?" He teases his wife, asusually. (What happened, Devi, you are more possessive than Ashwika?)

"Athu ellam ondrum illai, Swamy. Thangal seitha pala setting-yil enakku migavum piditha silaril ivargalum undu athanal thaan konjam athiga aarvam avalavu thaan. Ippozhuthu korungal Siva enna seiya pogiran. Samayamum undu Kadhalum undu," she looks at her husband expectantly and he gives her a wide knowing smile. (Not possessive and all, Swamy. They are one of my favourites in your setting, so a little curious that's it. Now tell me what's he going to do? He has both time and love.)

"Naam diyana nilaiku selvathu thaan nammaku nallathu, Devi," He closes his eyes. (It's time for us to do some meditation.)

"Purigirathu Swamy," The goddess blushes and closes her face with her hands. (Ohh, I understand, Swamy.)

Siva

What's the procedure to give in but not break the promise?

(Thanga Thamarai magale from Minsara Kanavu)

A pint of water splashes on my face and I come out of my trance.

"Evlo neram ah kekuren, Are you okay? Va nu. Thannila irukurathu eriyutha?" Ashwika asks me, pushing the water aside to stay afloat. (How long should I ask you if are you okay? Is your skin irritating being in water?)

(Oohah oohah ooha Oohah oohah ooha

Oohah oohah ooha oohoo)

I look between her eyes and lips. I nod my head and shake it in denial.
