Sunshine is increasing. Mist is fast gathering. Rain may come. Thunder roars. Clouds are gathering. Rain is pouring. Wind and rain have combined. Oh, powerful god, may everything prosper! May charity increase! May the buffaloes become pregnant! See that the buffaloes have calves. See that the barren women have children. Go and tell this to the god of the land. Keygamor, Eygamor (names of buffaloes). Evening is approaching. The buffaloes are coming. The calves also have returned. The buffaloes are saluted. The dairy-man beats the calves with his stick. Milk has been offered to the bell. It is growing dark. This is a buffalo with beautiful horns. A buffalo stupidly given away by the Badaga. A buffalo brought to the Kandal mand. Innerovya (name of buffalo). Like this buffalo there is no other. Parkur (name of a Toda). Like him there is no man. The sun is shining. The wind is blowing. Rain is coming. The trees are in flower. Tears are falling. The nose is burning. He is coming, holding up his umbrella. He is coming, wearing a good body-cloth. He is coming, wearing a good under-cloth. He (the palol) is coming, wearing a black cloth. He is coming, holding his walking-stick of palai wood. I have a god. What is to become of me? I am inclined to cry, my heart being heavy. Oh, my child! Do not cry. It is still crying. Thuree. Thuree. See. Be quiet. A robust bull buffalo. Ach! Ach! A big buffalo not intended for killing. Ach! Ach! Is leading the cow buffalo. Ah! Ah! Two or three men are driving it. Ah! Ah! Song in honour of the arrival of the Maharani-Regent of Mysore at Ootacamund. All we Todas go to her house, and dance before her. She gives us fifteen rupees. She comes near our women, and talks to them. She gives cloths to us. Next day we take milk, eight bottles in the morning, four in the evening. Month by month she pays us for our milk. She goes back to Mysore, and, when she goes, we stand in a row before her. She gives us presents; cloths and three rupees. The women cut their hair, and stand before her. Marriage Song.
