{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 03 - துறவறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 026 -  புலால் மறுத்தல்; குறள் எண்: 0254}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 03 - Abdication Ethics; Chapter: 026 - Refusal of Meat; Kural Number: 0254}

அருளல்ல தியாதெனிற் கொல்லாமை கோறல்
பொருளல்ல தவ்வூன் தினல்

Unethical is abandoning "Not killing"; meaningless
is eating such flesh

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: What is called unethical is abandoning the philosophy of "not killing"! And what is meaningless is such flesh of a killed live!

(Likewise...)

What is called improper is forgetting the virtue of "not stealing"! And what is inhuman is enjoying such stolen stuff!
