தீயவை தீய பயத்தலால் தீயவை
தீயினும் அஞ்சப் படும்

As evil deeds cause evil, evil deeds
be feared than fire

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: As evil deeds cause evil, the evil deeds should be feared by considering them as more dreadful than fire.

(Likewise...)

As illegal relations increase indiscipline, the illegal relations should be averted by considering them as more dangerous than poison.
