சுடச்சுடரும் பொன்போல் ஒளிவிடும் துன்பஞ்
சுடச்சுட நோற்கிற் பவர்க்கு.
The hotter glows the fining fire, the gold the brighter shines;The pain of penitence, like fire, the soul of man refines
Just as gold is purified as heated in the fire, will those shine, who have endured the burning of pain (in frequent austerities)
