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?
