Kural 857

மிகல்மேவல் மெய்ப்பொருள் காணார் இகல்மேவல்
இன்னா அறிவி னவர்.

Mikalmeval Meypporul Kaanaar Ikalmeval
Innaa Arivi Navar

The very truth that greatness gives their eyes can never see, Who only know to work men woe, fulfilled of enmity

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