பாலினால் நறுநெய்யாற் பழத்தினாற் பயின்றாட்டி

நூலினான் மணமாலை கொணர்ந்தடியார் புரிந்தேத்தச்
சேலினார் வயல்புடைசூழ் செங்காட்டங் குடியதனுள்

காலினாற் கூற்றுதைத்தான் கணபதீச் சரத்தானே.

gollark: I wonder if there's a way to make visitors use IPv6 by default if available.
gollark: The webcrawler bots like BingBot are probably using the crawling thing, but some of them seem to just be checking IPs/domains to try and explit things.
gollark: Some of them *directly* ask for osmarks.tk or subdomains without being redirected from the external IP.
gollark: Well, some are just scanning by IP, but I get the Host headers.
gollark: No, I mean I have more v6 user traffic than v6 bot traffic.
