Just as a solitary moon that shines in the sky
eclipses the dimglow
of a thousand little stars,
so too a single learned man
by the radiance of his intellectual powers
eclipses a thousand fools.
PROWESS
A ship can’t sail on the land
however mighty it be,
a huge chariot can’t tame the waters of the sea
and float in it,
however mighty it be;
however powerful we are
we should know where we should show our prowess.
Translated from the original Tamil by R. SUNDARESAN
