பரிந்தோம்பிக் காக்க ஒழுக்கம் தெரிந்தோம்பித் தேரினும் அஃதே துணை.

parin-thōmpi-k kākkum ozhukkam terintthōmpi-t tērin-um aqthē tuṇai.

Guard your conduct with careful thought; even wisdom, if guarded with discernment, becomes your truest ally.

Discipline in behavior is not imposed from without but cultivated through conscious vigilance—and this very vigilance, this examined life, is itself the compass that sustains you through all circumstance.
