{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 02 - இல்லறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 022 -  ஒப்புரவறிதல்; குறள் எண்: 0216}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 022 - Knowing the Equity (to help others); Kural Number: 216}

பயன்மரம் உள்ளூர்ப் பழுத்தற்றால் செல்வம்
நயனுடை யான்கண் படின்

Wealth of virtuous people is like
ripe tree in town

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The wealth gained by the person, who does goodness by realizing the concept of equity in helping, is like a beneficial tree ripped in the town center.

(Likewise...)

The designation occupied by the person, who do the public service by knowing the prominence of public welfare, is like fostering the lost hope in people's mind.
