"me me"

[S. V. Subrahmanian]

It is interesting to note that the real problem is in the bleating of "me
me" (mamakAram), not in kAnta or tanayA or gR^haa or pashavAha.  It is "me
me"(mamakAram) that invites vrikaha(mortality) not kAnta or tanayA et al.

This wife is mine, these children are mine, this house is mine,
and these cattle are mine, like this a man keeps on repeating "me
me" (pronounced like May, in Sanskrit it means mine) like a goat.
Hearing this "me me", comes the wolf kaala ( death)
  to snatch away his life.
