Kural Number: 0182 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 02 - இல்லறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 019 - புறங்கூறாமை; குறள் எண்: 0182}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 019 - Not Backbiting; Kural Number: 0182}

அறனழீஇ அல்லவை செய்தலின் தீதே 
புறனழீஇப் பொய்த்து நகை

Smiling falsely after backbiting behind is
more evil than unethical

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Smiling falsely in front of someone after backbiting them in their absence, is more evil than perishing the ethics and doing sinful acts.

(Likewise...)

Giving false promises during campaign without any concern of public at heart, is dangerous than killing the lives and accumulating sins.
