Kural 1081

அணங்குகொல் ஆய்மயில் கொல்லோ கனங்குழை
மாதர்கொல் மாலும் என் நெஞ்சு.

Anangukol Aaimayil Kollo Kananguzhai
Maadharkol Maalum En Nenju

Goddess? or peafowl rare? She whose ears rich jewels wear, Is she a maid of human kind? All wildered is my mind

Meaning

Is this jewelled female a celestial, a choice peahen, or a human being ? My mind is perplexed.

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
