Kural - 273
![Kural 273](https://kural.page/storage/images/thirukural-273-og.jpg)
As if a steer should graze wrapped round with tiger's skin,
Is show of virtuous might when weakness lurks within
Explanation
The assumed appearance of power, by a man who has no power (to restrain his senses and perform austerity), is like a cow feeding on grass covered with a tiger's skin.
