Kural Number: 0157 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 02 - இல்லறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 016 - பொறையுடைமை; குறள் எண்: 0157}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 016 - Possession of Forbearance; Kural Number: 0157}

திறனல்ல தற்பிறர் செய்யினும் நோநொந்து
அறனல்ல செய்யாமை நன்று

Better not to do unethical, even when
others do unacceptable things

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: It is better to forbear and not do unethical things, even when we are hurt by the unacceptable things done by others.

(Likewise...)

It is great to excuse and not to develop enmity, even when we loose our self following our rights denied by others.
