Kural 360

காமம் வெகுளி மயக்கம் இவ்மூன்றன்
நாமம் கெடக்கெடும் நோய்.

Kaamam Vekuli Mayakkam Ivaimundran
Naamam Ketakketum Noi

When lust and wrath and error's triple tyranny is o'er, Their very names for aye extinct, then pain shall be no more

Meaning

If the very names of these three things, desire, anger, and confusion of mind, be destroyed, then will also perish evils (which flow from them).

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).
