சிறப்பொடு பூசனை செல்லாது வானம் வறக்குமேல் வானோர்க்கும் ஈண்டு.
Sirappodul puusanai selladu vanam / varakumel vanoorkum iindu.
No shrine stands glorious when the sky withholds its rain; when heaven fails, even the gods themselves know scarcity here.
Abundance and dignity are illusions built on the charity of nature—when the rains cease, all pretense of permanence falls away, and we see what was always true: nothing belongs to us, not even our gods.
