Kural 1102

பிணிக்கு மருந்து பிறமன் அணியிழை
தன்நோய்க்குத் தானே மருந்து.

Pinikku Marundhu Piraman Aniyizhai
Thannoikkuth Thaane Marundhu

Disease and medicine antagonists we surely see; This maid, to pain she gives, herself is remedy

Meaning

The remedy for a disease is always something different (from it); but for the disease caused by this jewelled maid, she is herself the cure.

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).
