Thirukkural Chapter 110 - Recognition of the Signs
Couplet 1091
A double witchery have glances of her liquid eye;
One glance is glance that brings me pain; the other heals again
Explanation
There are two looks in the dyed eyes of this (fair one); one causes pain, and the other is the cure thereof
Couplet 1092
The furtive glance, that gleams one instant bright,
Is more than half of love's supreme delight
Explanation
A single stolen glance of her eyes is more than half the pleasure (of sexual embrace)
Couplet 1093
She looked, and looking drooped her head:
On springing shoot of love 'its water shed
Explanation
She has looked (at men) and stooped (her head); and that (sign) waters as it were (the corn of) our love
Couplet 1094
I look on her: her eyes are on the ground the while:
I look away: she looks on me with timid smile
Explanation
When I look, she looks down; when I do not, she looks and smiles gently
Couplet 1095
She seemed to see me not; but yet the maid
Her love, by smiling side-long glance, betrayed
Explanation
She not only avoids a direct look at me, but looks as it were with a half-closed eye and smiles
Couplet 1096
Though with their lips affection they disown,
Yet, when they hate us not, 'tis quickly known
Explanation
Though they may speak harshly as if they were strangers, the words of the friendly are soon understood
Couplet 1097
The slighting words that anger feign, while eyes their love reveal
Are signs of those that love, but would their love conceal
Explanation
Little words that are harsh and looks that are hateful are (but) the expressions of lovers who wish to act like strangers
Couplet 1098
I gaze, the tender maid relents the while;
And, oh the matchless grace of that soft smile
Explanation
When I look, the pitying maid looks in return and smiles gently; and that is a comforting sign for me
Couplet 1099
The look indifferent, that would its love disguise,
Is only read aright by lovers' eyes
Explanation
Both the lovers are capable of looking at each other in an ordinary way, as if they were perfect strangers
Couplet 1100
When eye to answering eye reveals the tale of love,
All words that lips can say must useless prove
Explanation
The words of the mouths are of no use whatever, when there is perfect agreement between the eyes (of lovers)
Thirukkural Chapter 109 - The Pre-marital love
Couplet 1081
Goddess? or peafowl rare? She whose ears rich jewels wear,
Is she a maid of human kind? All wildered is my mind
Explanation
Is this jewelled female a celestial, a choice peahen, or a human being ? My mind is perplexed
Couplet 1082
She of the beaming eyes, To my rash look her glance replies,
As if the matchless goddess' hand Led forth an armed band
Explanation
This female beauty returning my looks is like a celestial maiden coming with an army to contend against me
Couplet 1083
Death's form I formerly Knew not; but now 'tis plain to me;
He comes in lovely maiden's guise, With soul-subduing eyes
Explanation
I never knew before what is called Yama; I see it now; it is the eyes that carry on a great fight with (the help of) female qualities
Couplet 1084
In sweet simplicity, A woman's gracious form hath she;
But yet those eyes, that drink my life, Are with the form at strife
Explanation
These eyes that seem to kill those who look at them are as it were in hostilities with this feminine simplicity
Couplet 1085
The light that on me gleams, Is it death's dart? or eye's bright beams?
Or fawn's shy glance? All three appear In form of maiden here
Explanation
Is it Yama, (a pair of) eyes or a hind ?- Are not all these three in the looks of this maid ?
Couplet 1086
If cruel eye-brow's bow, Unbent, would veil those glances now;
The shafts that wound this trembling heart Her eyes no more would dart
Explanation
Her eyes will cause (me) no trembling sorrow, if they are properly hidden by her cruel arched eyebrows
Couplet 1087
As veil o'er angry eyes Of raging elephant that lies,
The silken cincture's folds invest This maiden's panting breast
Explanation
The cloth that covers the firm bosom of this maiden is (like) that which covers the eyes of a rutting elephant
Couplet 1088
Ah woe is me my might, That awed my foemen in the fight,
By lustre of that beaming brow Borne down, lies broken now
Explanation
On her bright brow alone is destroyed even that power of mine that used to terrify the most fearless
Couplet 1089
Like tender fawn's her eye; Clothed on is she with modesty;
What added beauty can be lent; By alien ornament
Explanation
Of what use are other jewels to her who is adorned with modesty, and the meek looks of a hind ?
Couplet 1090
The palm-tree's fragrant wine, To those who taste yields joys divine;
But love hath rare felicity For those that only see
Explanation
Unlike boiled honey which yields delight only when it is drunk, love gives pleasure even when looked at
Thirukkural Chapter 108 - Baseness
Couplet 1071
The base resemble men in outward form, I ween;
But counterpart exact to them I've never seen
Explanation
The base resemble men perfectly (as regards form); and we have not seen such (exact) resemblance (among any other species)
Couplet 1072
Than those of grateful heart the base must luckier be,
Their minds from every anxious thought are free
Explanation
The low enjoy more felicity than those who know what is good; for the former are not troubled with anxiety (as to the good)
Couplet 1073
The base are as the Gods; they too
Do ever what they list to do
Explanation
The base resemble the Gods; for the base act as they like
Couplet 1074
When base men those behold of conduct vile,
They straight surpass them, and exulting smile
Explanation
The base feels proud when he sees persons whose acts meaner than his own
Couplet 1075
Fear is the base man's virtue; if that fail,
Intense desire some little may avail
Explanation
(The principle of) behaviour in the mean is chiefly fear; if not, hope of gain, to some extent
Couplet 1076
The base are like the beaten drum; for, when they hear
The sound the secret out in every neighbour's ear
Explanation
The base are like a drum that is beaten, for they unburden to others the secrets they have heard
Couplet 1077
From off their moistened hands no clinging grain they shake,
Unless to those with clenched fist their jaws who break
Explanation
The mean will not (even) shake off (what sticks to) their hands (soon after a meal) to any but those who would break their jaws with their clenched fists
Couplet 1078
The good to those will profit yield fair words who use;
The base, like sugar-cane, will profit those who bruise
Explanation
The great bestow (their alms) as soon as they are informed; (but) the mean, like the sugar-cane, only when they are tortured to death
Couplet 1079
If neighbours clothed and fed he see, the base
Is mighty man some hidden fault to trace
Explanation
The base will bring an evil (accusation) against others, as soon as he sees them (enjoying) good food
Couplet 1080
For what is base man fit, if griefs assail?
Himself to offer, there and then, for sale
Explanation
The base will hasten to sell themselves as soon as a calamity has befallen them. For what else are they fitted ?
Thirukkural Chapter 107 - The Dread of Mendicancy
Couplet 1061
Ten million-fold 'tis greater gain, asking no alms to live,
Even from those, like eyes in worth, who nought concealing gladly give
Explanation
Not to beg (at all) even from those excellent persons who cheerfully give without refusing, will do immense good
Couplet 1062
If he that shaped the world desires that men should begging go,
Through life's long course, let him a wanderer be and perish so
Explanation
If the Creator of the world has decreed even begging as a means of livelihood, may he too go abegging and perish
Couplet 1063
Nothing is harder than the hardness that will say,
'The plague of penury by asking alms we'll drive away.'
Explanation
There is no greater folly than the boldness with which one seeks to remedy the evils of poverty by begging (rather than by working)
Couplet 1064
Who ne'er consent to beg in utmost need, their worth
Has excellence of greatness that transcends the earth
Explanation
Even the whole world cannot sufficiently praise the dignity that would not beg even in the midst of destitution
Couplet 1065
Nothing is sweeter than to taste the toil-won cheer,
Though mess of pottage as tasteless as the water clear
Explanation
Even thin gruel is ambrosia to him who has obtained it by labour
Couplet 1066
E'en if a draught of water for a cow you ask,
Nought's so distasteful to the tongue as beggar's task
Explanation
There is nothing more disgraceful to one's tongue than to use it in begging water even for a cow
Couplet 1067
One thing I beg of beggars all, 'If beg ye may,
Of those who hide their wealth, beg not, I pray.'
Explanation
I beseech all beggars and say, "If you need to beg, never beg of those who give unwillingly."
Couplet 1068
The fragile bark of beggary
Wrecked on denial's rock will lie
Explanation
The unsafe raft of begging will split when it strikes on the rock of refusal
Couplet 1069
The heart will melt away at thought of beggary,
With thought of stern repulse 'twill perish utterly
Explanation
To think of (the evil of) begging is enough to melt one's heart; but to think of refusal is enough to break it
Couplet 1070
E'en as he asks, the shamefaced asker dies;
Where shall his spirit hide who help denies
Explanation
Saying "No" to a beggar takes away his life. (but as that very word will kill the refuser) where then would the latter's life hide itself ?
Thirukkural Chapter 106 - Mendicancy
Couplet 1051
When those you find from whom 'tis meet to ask,- for aid apply;
Theirs is the sin, not yours, if they the gift deny
Explanation
If you meet with those that may be begged of, you may beg; (but) if they withhold (their gift) it is their blame and not yours
Couplet 1052
Even to ask an alms may pleasure give,
If what you ask without annoyance you receive
Explanation
Even begging may be pleasant, if what is begged for is obtained without grief (to him that begs)
Couplet 1053
The men who nought deny, but know what's due, before their face
To stand as suppliants affords especial grace
Explanation
There is even a beauty in standing before and begging of those who are liberal in their gifts and understand their duty (to beggars)
Couplet 1054
Like giving alms, may even asking pleasant seem,
From men who of denial never even dream
Explanation
To beg of such as never think of withholding (their charity) even in their dreams, is in fact the same as giving (it oneself);
Couplet 1055
Because on earth the men exist, who never say them nay,
Men bear to stand before their eyes for help to pray
Explanation
As there are in the world those that give without refusing, there are (also) those that prefer to beg by simply standing before them
Couplet 1056
It those you find from evil of 'denial' free,
At once all plague of poverty will flee
Explanation
All the evil of begging will be removed at the sight of those who are far from the evil of refusing
Couplet 1057
If men are found who give and no harsh words of scorn employ,
The minds of askers, through and through, will thrill with joy
Explanation
Beggars rejoice exceedingly when they behold those who bestow (their alms) with kindness and courtesy
Couplet 1058
If askers cease, the mighty earth, where cooling fountains flow,
Will be a stage where wooden puppets come and go
Explanation
If there were no beggars, (the actions done in) the cool wide world would only resemble the movement of a puppet
Couplet 1059
What glory will there be to men of generous soul,
When none are found to love the askers' role
Explanation
What (praise) would there be to givers (of alms) if there were no beggars to ask for and reveive (them)
Couplet 1060
Askers refused from wrath must stand aloof;
The plague of poverty itself is ample proof
Explanation
He who begs ought not to be angry (at a refusal); for even the misery of (his own) poverty should be a sufficient reason (for so doing)

TODO EN 1 FRP REMOVER 2016 V1.0 By GSM TECHNOLOGY TEAM
Learn how to remove frp with this Tool - Tutorial inside
password - GSM TECNOLOGY TEAM & ECUAGSM
WHAT IS FRP {factory Reset rotection} ?.
Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models. It's a good thing — it makes a stolen phone harder to use, which makes it less appealing to thieves, and anything that can protect our data on a phone we've lost is welcome.
The problem is that people are selling or trading or even giving away phones with FRP enabled and this makes things difficult for the next user.
How it works explains why. If you reset a phone with FRP enabled, you have to provide the user name and password for the last Google account that was registered with the device. There are random work-arounds on the Internet, but they tend to get patched almost as soon as they are discovered. You'll pretty much need to know the login details for the last account to use the phone before you can do anything with it if FRP was enabled before you reset it.

Couplet 1031
Howe'er they roam, the world must follow still the plougher's team;
Though toilsome, culture of the ground as noblest toil esteem
Explanation
Agriculture, though laborious, is the most excellent (form of labour); for people, though they go about (in search of various employments), have at last to resort to the farmer
Couplet 1032
The ploughers are the linch-pin of the world; they bear
Them up who other works perform, too weak its toils to share
