Purananuru - Part 80

There in Amur, where the toddy is potent and sweet,
one of his legs squeezes the chest of the powerful wrestler
and crushes his vigorous strength while the other leg wrapped
around the back stifles his attempts to break free.
How I wish that Tittan, so difficult to oppose, a winner
of battles, could see this, whether or not it would please him!
Like a famished elephant trying to gobble down bamboo,
at head and foot he twists and snaps the body
of the wrestler who has taken the field, and triumphing, he is killing him!
