“Tamil:
எண்ணம் எல்லாம் பொய் எமன் ஓலை மெய்.”
“English Translation:
All ‘’our’’ thoughts are vain, the ola of Yama is real. : Ola is the name of the Palmyra palm leaf. On this material, books, accounts, correspondence &c., are written with an iron pen. Several of the Tamil books I first read were written on ola. Yama, the regent of the dead, is graphically represented as stretching out his hand to deliver the order for departure.”,
