Kural 523

அளவளா வில்லாதான் வாழ்க்கை குளவளாக்
கோடின்றி நீர்நிறைந் தற்று.

Alavalaa Villaadhaan Vaazhkkai Kulavalaak
Kotindri Neernirain Thatru

His joy of life who mingles not with kinsmen gathered round, Is lake where streams pour in, with no encircling bound

The English verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
