Kural 497

அஞ்சாமை அல்லால் துணைவேண்டா எஞ்சாமை
எண்ணி இடத்தால் செயின்.

Anjaamai Allaal Thunaiventaa Enjaamai
Enni Itaththaal Seyin

Save their own fearless might they need no other aid, If in right place they fight, all due provision made

Meaning

You will need no other aid than fearlessness, if you thoroughly reflect (on what you are to do), and select (a suitable) place for your operations.

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).
