Kural Number: 0237 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 02 - இல்லறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 024 -  புகழ்; குறள் எண்: 0237}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 024 - Reputation; Kural Number: 0237}

புகழ்பட வாழாதார் தந்நோவார் தம்மை
இகழ்வாரை நோவது எவன்

Those don't live with fame should blame selves;
why blaming the critics?

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who do not live with fame, should only blame themselves! What is the reason in blaming the people who criticize them?

(Likewise...)

The leaders who do not establish the democracy, should only punish themselves! What is the justice in punishing the opponents who criticize them?
