Kural 1192

வாழ்வார்க்கு வானம் பயந்தற்றால் வீழ்வார்க்கு
வீழ்வார் அள஧ க்கும் அளி.

Vaazhvaarkku Vaanam Payandhatraal Veezhvaarkku
Veezhvaar Ala� Kkum Ali

As heaven on living men showers blessings from above, Is tender grace by lovers shown to those they love

Meaning

The bestowal of love by the beloved on those who love them is like the rain raining (at the proper season) on those who live by it.

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).
