Translation:

Cruel is the arrow straight, the crooked lute is sweet, Judge by their deeds the many forms of men you meet.

Commentary (உரை):

As, in its use, the arrow is crooked, and the curved lute is straight, so by their deeds, (and not by their appearance) let (the uprightness or crookedness of) men be estimated.
