Kural 1088

ஒண்ணுதற் கோஒ உடைந்ததே ஞாட்பினுள்
நண்ணாரும் உட்குமென் பீடு.

Onnudhar Koo Utaindhadhe Gnaatpinul
Nannaarum Utkumen Peetu

Ah woe is me my might, That awed my foemen in the fight, By lustre of that beaming brow Borne down, lies broken now

Meaning

On her bright brow alone is destroyed even that power of mine that used to terrify the most fearless.

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).
