Verse 316: Checking is the unhealing
316. Checking is the unhealing
ஆறிற்றோ என்றே அடிக்கடிப் பார்ப்பதேஆறாமை யென்னும் அழல்
aaritro endre adikkadip paarppadheaaraamai yennum azhal
To keep looking (has it cooled yet?) is itself the fire that does not cool.
In Tamil one verb means both ‘heal’ and ‘cool down’; the question and the fire share that root.
