Purananuru - Part 66

One of your ancestors mastered the movement of the wind
when his ships sailed on the dark and enormous ocean!
Karikal Valavan, you who master rutting elephants!
You did march off and you did win the victory and you displayed
your power, since you were the one who triumphed in combat but yet
on the battlefield of wealthy Venni didn't he surpass you,
gaining great fame across the world when ashamed
at a wound in the back, he sat turned northward and starved himself to death?
