           காக்கின்என் காவாக்கா லென்

           Should control anger where it works; what if
           controlled or not where it backfires

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who control the anger where they have authority,
           are who actually control the anger; what if the anger is controlled or not where there
           is no authority.

(Likewise...)

           if the food is given or not to those who are not hungry.

           இல்அதனின் தீய பிற

           Inapplicable anger is evil; even if applicable,
           nothing is evil than it

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The anger that is shown where it is inapplicable, is evil;
           even where it is applicable, nothing is more evil than the anger itself.

(Likewise…)

           The repression conducted in an unfairly manner, is destructible; even if it is
           conducted in a fairly manner, nothing is more destructible than the repression itself.

0303.  மறத்தல் வெகுளியை யார்மாட்டும் தீய
           பிறத்தல் அதனான் வரும்

           Forget the anger with anyone, as
           evil emerges from anger

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Getting angry leads to evil as aftermath; hence, it is
           best to forget to get angry with anyone.

           பகையும் உளவோ பிற

           Is there stronger enmity than anger,
           to kill smile & content?

           kill the smile on face and the content at heart?

(Likewise...)

           Is there any other extremist that is mightier than racism, to seed the partition in
           thought and the maneuver in action?

           தன்னையே கொல்லுஞ் சினம்

           anger will kill themselves

           the anger; if it is not protected so, the anger itself will kill us.

           eliminated so, the privacy itself will degrade our value.

           just not destroy us but also our well-wishing neighbors.

(Likewise...)

           The illicit-relationship, which rupture the acquainted, like drug; will just not rupture
           the activities but also the mind that guard our self.

0307.  சினத்தைப் பொருளென்று கொண்டவன் கேடு
           நிலத்தறைந்தான் கைபிழையா தற்று

           புணரின் வெகுளாமை நன்று

           better not getting angry

           done an evil that is equivalent to dropping us in a huge fire.

           that is on par to stab with a "poison-dipped" sharp spear.

0309.  உள்ளிய தெல்லாம் உடனெய்தும் உள்ளத்தால்
           உள்ளான் வெகுளி எனின்

           If one don't get angry at mind, all
           thoughts are achieved soon

           their thoughts will be achieved soon after thinking.

           If one could write without erring ethics even in comedy, all their creations will be
           immediately appreciated.

0310.  இறந்தார் இறந்தார் அனையர் சினத்தைத்
           துறந்தார் துறந்தார் துணை

           Who have exorbitant anger are dead; who
           renounced it are saints

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Who cross the limit of anger are considered dead;
           whereas, who have renounced the anger are on par to monks those are excellent in
           penance.

(Likewise...)

           Crossing the definition of lust is equivalent to rape; surpassing the lust is on par to
           good deed that seed the ethics.
