கேடறியாக் கெட்ட இடத்தும் வளங்குன்றா
நாடென்ப நாட்டின் தலை.
Ketariyaak Ketta Itaththum Valangundraa / Naatenpa Naattin Thalai
English
The land of lands no ruin knows Even in grief its wealth yet grows
— Chief of all lands is that, where nought disturbs its peace;Or, if invaders come, still yields its rich increase
The learned say that the best kingdom is that which knows no evil (from its foes), and, if injured (at all), suffers no diminution in its fruitfulness
