954. Working between sides

ஓரிழையால் நெய்யான் நெசவன் இருபுறமும்ஊடாடும் கையே துணி

orizhaiyaal neyyaan nesavan irupuramumoodaadum kaiye thuni

A weaver does not weave with one thread; the hand that crosses back and forth between both sides is the cloth.

Each pass of the weaver’s hand lays one thread from side to side; cloth is nothing but that hand’s going and coming, row on row.

955. Less friction together

பொருந்தா அரைகல் அரைக்குமோசை கேட்கும்பொருந்தின் ஒலியற் றது

porundaa araikal araikkumosai kedkumporundin oliyar radhu

A grinding stone that does not fit is heard as it grinds; one that fits grinds in silence.
