and did violence - this you bear. Like the hill-woman who strikes a tiger with her winnow, you made yourself small by strength and stood high by your deed! You fell because of generosity! When the enemy's army came on like a flood with force, without letting your thought grow weak, you took firmness of heart, holding that bright fame was the highest thing, and stood guarding the rights of a people whose law is truth. You fell because of honour! Though the king of the godless enemy held a strength that took its pride from heaven, your heart would not shrink back in fear of the wound; unwilling to retire, you stood against his path, saying, we will hold our ground! You fell because of valour! When the mountain came rolling down you would not slip aside to the edge and hide yourself; you made the weight light, you called the serpent a worm, and at the very moment you stood up against the enemy whatever his state. You fell because of daring! When the great enemy came on with countless armies and the pride of strong-armed warriors, you would not think of bowing, you would not count crouching as useful, you would not think of yielding - you stopped him, saying, stand! You did not count terror as wisdom, you did not account disaster a thing of any weight; when the bewildered enemy king broke in with strength and armies beyond number like a rolling flood, you stood against him, crying, let heads roll, let honour rise! Whoever the enemy may be, wherever he goes, let him not pass the border of the town and think himself ordered there; him who puts on the dress of war and comes in, the forest of his pride I will cut so that it has no place to root - so you stood. They say the scriptures ordain that whatever falls in the sacrifice returns to the world with greater valour and fame: when men act, those who grow faint in dharma fall, but there is a hearing, and at once they rise again, quickening and living anew. There are golden mansions that sink into the darkness of the assembly hall until the sun's light appears when the lamp's glow grows dim; even when unmeasured evil comes, they take no fear into the heart, they stand unmoved and high - is there sorrow for those who have courage?","historical_notes":"","kural_adhigaram":null,"transliteration":"araththinaal veezhnthu vittaay,\nanniyan valiyanaaki\nmaraththinaal vanthu seytha\nvanmaiyaip poruththal seyvaay;\nmuraththinaal puliyaith thaakkum\nmoyvaraik kurappen poalath\nthiraththinaan eliyaiyaakis\nseykaiyaal uyarnthu ninraay!\nvanmaiyaal veezhnthu vittaay!\nvaaripoar pakaivan saenai\nthinmaiyoatu atarkkum poathil\nsinthanai melithalinri\nonmaisaer pukazhae maelenru\nulaththilae uruthi kontaay,\nunmaithaer koala naattaar\nurimaiyaik kaaththu ninraay.\nmaanaththaal veezhnthu vittaay!\nmathangkillaap pakaivar vaenthan\nvaanaththaar perumai konta\nvalimaithaan utaiyanaenum,\noonaththaal ullam anjsi\nothungkita manam ovvaamal\naasanaththais seyvoamenrae\navanvazhi ethirththu ninraay!\nveeraththaal veezhnthu vittaay!\nmaelvarai urulum kaalai\noaraththae othungkith thannai\noliththita manam ovvaamal\npaaraththai elithaak kontaay,\npaampinaip puzhuvae enraay\nnaeraththae pakaivan thannai\nennilaiyena munainthu ninraay.\nthunivinaal veezhnthu vittaay!\nthokaiyilaap pataikaloatum\npinivalar serukkinoatum\nperumpakai ethirththa poathu\npanivathu karuthamaattaay,\npathungkuthal payanenrennaay\nthanivathai ninaikkamaattaay,\nnillenath thatuththal seythaay.\nveruluthalarivenrennaay,\nvipaththaiyoar poruttaak kollaay,\nsurulalai vellam poalath\nthokaiyilaap pataikal kontae\nmaruluru pakaivar vaenthan\nvalimaiyaal pukuntha vaelai,\nuruluka thalaikal, maanam\noangkuka enrethirththu ninraay.\nyaarukkae pakaiyenraalum\nyaarmisai ivan senraalum\noorukkul ellai thaanti\nuththiravennitaamal,\npoarukkuk koalam poontu\npukunthavan serukkuk kaattai\nvaerukkum itamillaamal\nvettuvaen enru ninraay.\nvaelviyil veezhvathellaam\nveeramum pukazhum mikku\nmeelvathuntu ulakirkenrae\nvaethangkal vithikkum enpar,\naalvinai seyyum poathil,\naraththilae ilaiththu veezhnthaar\nkaelviyuntu utanae meelak\nkilarssikontu uyirththu vaazhthal.\nvilakkoli mazhungkip poaka\nveyiloli thoanrum mattum,\nkalakkamaar irulin moozhkum\nkanakamaalikaiyum untaam,\nalakkarun theethurraalum\nassamae ulaththuk kollaar,\nthulakkara oangki nirpar,\nthuyaruntoa thunivulloarkkae?","couplet_en":"","word_meanings":"\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8|violence, hardness\n\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bcd|winnowing basket\n\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd|hill people\n\u0bae\u0bca\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8|Moyvarai, a hill of the kurinji country\n\u0b92\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8|brightness, excellence\n\u0b8a\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd|wound, hurt\n\u0b86\u0b9a\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd|seat, holding one's ground\n\u0ba4\u0bca\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbe|countless\n\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd|strong-bodied warriors\n\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd|to count oneself as ordered, to presume\n\u0b86\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8|action, effort\n\u0b95\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd|the assembly hall\n","meaning_ta":"\u0b85\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd;

the stranger grew strong and by wickedness came and did violence - this you bear. Like the hill-woman who strikes a tiger with her winnow, you made yourself small by strength and stood high by your deed! You fell because of generosity! When the enemy's army came on like a flood with force, without letting your thought grow weak, you took firmness of heart, holding that bright fame was the highest thing, and stood guarding the rights of a people whose law is truth. You fell because of honour! Though the king of the godless enemy held a strength that took its pride from heaven, your heart would not shrink back in fear of the wound; unwilling to retire, you stood against his path, saying, we will hold our ground! You fell because of valour! When the mountain came rolling down you would not slip aside to the edge and hide yourself; you made the weight light, you called the serpent a worm, and at the very moment you stood up against the enemy whatever his state. You fell because of daring! When the great enemy came on with countless armies and the pride of strong-armed warriors, you would not think of bowing, you would not count crouching as useful, you would not think of yielding - you stopped him, saying, stand! You did not count terror as wisdom, you did not account disaster a thing of any weight; when the bewildered enemy king broke in with strength and armies beyond number like a rolling flood, you stood against him, crying, let heads roll, let honour rise! Whoever the enemy may be, wherever he goes, let him not pass the border of the town and think himself ordered there; him who puts on the dress of war and comes in, the forest of his pride I will cut so that it has no place to root - so you stood. They say the scriptures ordain that whatever falls in the sacrifice returns to the world with greater valour and fame: when men act, those who grow faint in dharma fall, but there is a hearing, and at once they rise again, quickening and living anew. There are golden mansions that sink into the darkness of the assembly hall until the sun's light appears when the lamp's glow grows dim; even when unmeasured evil comes, they take no fear into the heart, they stand unmoved and high - is there sorrow for those who have courage?","explanation_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b9c\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9c\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1. \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd '\u0b85\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd', '\u0bb5\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1 - \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bc0\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0baa\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1.\n\n'\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bca\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc6\u0ba3\u0bcd' - \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd.\n\n'\u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95 \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b93\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95' - \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bb1\u0bb2\u0bcd.
