I challenge you to get the pronunciation of 12th couplet from the book called "ThirukuraL" correct in a flow. (may not be 100% at-least to a 80 or 85%).

Let me give an introduction to ThirukuraL.You may have heard of it.It is something like bible but it is not coupled with any religion.It is one of the books that have been translated in more languages; which consisting of 1330 couplets originally written in Tamil language by Thiruvalluvar.

Thirukural is structured into 133 chapters, each containing 10 couplets, for a total of 1330 couplets.The 133 chapters are grouped into three sections.
