இமையாரின் வாழினும் பாடிலரே இல்லாள்
அமையார்தோள் அஞ்சு பவர்.

Imaiyaarin Vaazhinum Paatilare Illaal
Amaiyaardhol Anju Pavar

Though, like the demi-gods, in bliss they dwell secure from harm, Those have no dignity who fear the housewife's slender arm

Meaning

They that fear the bamboo-like shoulders of their wives will be destitute of manliness though they may flourish like the Gods.

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).
