You gathered crowds and shouted Vande Mataram; you reviled us; you sailed ships so that we had to run, and you made money. You told the cowardly people the truth; you broke the law; you scolded them that it is shameful to live poor here; you talked of valour. You turned slavish eunuchs into men; you took away meanness; you brought back those who had said 'we have had enough of subjection'; you put desire into them. You stirred up those who had made service their only trade; you sought fame; you showed the ways to learn visible trades; you drove away weariness. Everywhere you have ordered this wish for self-rule; you have scattered the seed. Will a small hare do the work of a lion? Will you be saved? I shall burn you down, wear out your wits and have my say; I shall stab and kill; is there anyone who talks big? I shall throw you into prison, and take the blame myself.","historical_notes":"","kural_adhigaram":null,"transliteration":"naattilengkum suthanthira vaanjsaiyai\nnaattinaay, kanal moottinaay,\nvaatti unnai matakkis siraikkullae\nmaattuvaen; - vali kaattuvaen.
