Kural 1142

மலரன்ன கண்ணாள் அருமை அறியாது
அலரெமக்கு ஈந்ததிவ் வூர்.

Alaremakku Eendhadhiv Voor

The village hath to us this rumour giv'n, that makes her mine; Unweeting all the rareness of the maid with flower-like eyne

Meaning

Not knowing the value of her whose eyes are like flowers this town has got up a rumour about me.

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).
