Be arrogant to stay put.

A passionate servant served his Master,

Attending his needs no less than anyone,

And for him, fought the Eagle in the battle,

But by the Master was overthrown ill,

And was put to the claw of the same Eagle,

Who crept in, to replace the servant.

Where lies the error of judgment?

Squarely upon the ill-fated servant.

A faithful servant to the faithless Master;

Had he been a fraud, the Master might mind.

(M. Karunanithi was defeated in the

Assembly Election thoroughly. Master = the voters)
