“Tamil:
அக்கினி தேவனுக்கு அபிஷேகம் செய்ததுபோல் இருக்கிறான்.”
“English Translation:
He is as if a libation had been poured out to the god of fire.Used of one naturally very black, who on hearing the proverb if he understands its purport, is of course very angry. When water is poured on burning charcoal the cinders appear exceedingly black. The intended reflection is not the less insulting because of the complimentary way in which it is conveyed.”,
