Nilayin thiriyaadhu adangiyaan thottram
Malayinum maanap peridhu.
The stature of one who remains unwavering in their station — steadily restrained — is greater than a mountain.
நிலையிலிருந்து விலகாமல் அடங்கி இருப்பவனின் தோற்றம் (பெருமை) மலையை விட மாண்புமிக்கது.
Steadiness in one's rightful place, combined with restraint — not swaying from position, not overreaching — creates a stature greater than mountains. Mountains are massive but they don't exercise will; the restrained person's greatness is greater because it comes from conscious choice.
