Oruvanai oruvan aduthalum tholaithalum

Puthuvathu andru; iv ulagathu iyarkai

Indrin ungo kelalam; tiralarai

Manra vempin machinai ontalir

Nedungodi uzhinghaip pavarodu midainthu

Seriya thodutha thempaai kanni

Oliyal malaiyoudu, poliyach chudip

Padin thenkinai karangak kanthaka

Naadukezhu thiruvir pasumpoot chezhiyan

Peedum semmalum ariyar koodip

Poruthum endru thanthalai vanda

Punaikazhal eluvar nalvalam adanga

Oruthaan akip porudu, kalathu adale!

• Purananuru 77

Kinkini kalaintha kaal on kazhalthottuk

Kudumi kalainda nudalvembin orntalir

Nedunkodi uzhingai pavarodu milanthu

Kurnthodi kalithakaich chabam patri

Neduntherk kodinji poliya ninron

Yarkol? Vazhga, avan kanni! Tharpundu

Thaali kalaithandrum ilane; Paalvittu

Udandrumel vanda vamba malarai

Alundapatri akavisumbu arppuezhak

Makizhtandrum, ikazhtandrum, athaninum ilane.

• Purananuru 79

Moodur vayil panik kayam manni,

Mandra vembin onkuzhai milainthu,

Thenkinai munnark kalitrin iyali,

Vemporch chezhiyanum vandanan; ethirnda

Vamba mallaro palare;

Enchuvar kollo, pagalthavai chiride?
