Thirukural-On Choice Of Right Place(Arena)-Kural-500
Vaelaal mukatha kaliru
On
marshy
ground,where
the
foot
sinks,
even
a
fox
can
beat
a
mighty
elephant,
With
fearless
eyes
on
his
majestic
face,
and
two
spears
too
of
ivory.
The bravery and majesty of the elephant, with his ivory tusks, is described in some detail in this Kural, to bring out the unfortunate plight of this grand creature being caught helplessly in the midst of a marshy bog, and being ignominiously killed by an insignificant fox.
V V S Iyer interprets the phrase, involving (Vetal) to mean an elephant, which is naturally fearless, and has earlier faced a host of men with spears.
