Today · Thirukkural · verse 1147 · Love

ஊரவர் கெளவை எருவாக அன்னைசொல் நீராக நீளும்இந் நோய்.

Ūravar kēḷuvai eruvaāga annaicol / Nīrāga nīḷum in nōy.

The town's gossip cuts like a blade; the mother's word flows like water—and this sickness deepens with both.

You cannot command what others whisper, nor what those you love say to wound you; what you master is whether you drink the poison or let it pass through you untasted.
