Tamil text and transliteration:

நில்லிடும் என்று நிறுத்துவர் தாமே,

celliṭu nilleṉṟu tīvāy narakiṭai,
nilliṭum eṉṟu niṟuttuvar tāmē,
English translation of verse 198:

Them with strong ropes Death's ruffians bind;
And stationing them at the fire-gates of Hell,
The agents yell, "Stand, go; and in the fire pit roast."
