Learning
யாதானும் நாடாமால் ஊராமால் என்னொருவன்
சாந்துணையுங் கல்லாத வாறு.
Yaadhaanum Naataamaal Ooraamaal Ennoruvan / Saandhunaiyung Kallaadha Vaaru
English
All lands and towns are learner's own Why not till death learning go on!
— The learned make each land their own, in every city find a home;Who, till they die; learn nought, along what weary ways they roam
How is it that any one can remain without learning, even to his death, when (to the learned man) every country is his own (country), and every town his own (town) ?
