“Tamil:
கல் எறிக்குத் தப்பினாலும் கண் எறிக்குத் தப்பக்கூடாது.”
“English Translation:
Though one may escape the cast of a stone, he cannot escape the glance of an evil eye.The evil eye கண்ணூறு and the evil tongue நாவூறு are feared very generally. To avert their influence as regards fruits &c, in a garden, it is common to put up some object of attraction as a water-pot whitewashed, inverted on a stump, and dotted with black spots &c. In some enclosures grotesque images are seen.”,
