Purananuru - Part 227
You, Death! you who show no mercy are a total fool!
Because you had no grain you have gone and cooked
and eaten up the seeds! You will see how true this is!
Since you have taken Valavan, that man whose chaplet
swarmed with bees, who wore thick golden ornaments
and who was just like you, he who each and every day
could calm the hunger that consumes you with his flawless
force through the daily slaughter of his victories
on the field of battle where water is rich red with blood
of horses, elephants, men with shining swords,
all of them falling, whom do you have now to calm your hunger?
