In this poem, the poet is irritated because of Red Champak tree is the source of his mother’s migraine fever. Moreover, it also pollutes the air by spreading its pollens all.
The poet desires to cut it but his mother stops him from doing so. For her, the tree is a good omen. Its flowers are offered to Gods and Goddesses by the time of their marriage.
