Kural 942

மருந்தென வேண்டாவாம் யாக்கைக்கு அருந்தியது
அற்றது போற்றி உணின்.

Marundhena Ventaavaam Yaakkaikku Arundhiyadhu
Atradhu Potri Unin

No need of medicine to heal your body's pain, If, what you ate before digested well, you eat again

Meaning

No medicine is necessary for him who eats after assuring (himself) that what he has (already) eaten has been digested.

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).
