நுண்மாண் நுழைபுலம் இல்லான் எழில்நலம்
மண்மாண் புனைபாவை யற்று

Beauty of who haven’t intelligence, is alike
beautiful girl-idol made of clay

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The beautiful appearance of an uneducated, who are incapable at deeper and better rational, is on par to a beautiful girl-idol that is excellently made out of clay.

(Likewise…)

The beautiful palace-house of a family, which is unable to live with sincerity and ethics, is equivalent to a sweet dream that is realistically developed out of imagination.
