தம்மில் இருந்து தமதுபாத்து உண்டற்றால்

Ammaa Arivai Muyakku

As when one eats from household store, with kindly graceSharing his meal: such is this golden maid's embrace

Meaning

The embraces of a gold-complexioned beautiful female are as pleasant as to dwell in one's own house and live by one's own (earnings) after distributing (a portion of it in charity).

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).
