Kural Number: 0295 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 03 - துறவறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 030 - வாய்மை; குறள் எண்: 0295}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 03 - Abdication Ethics; Chapter: 030 - Truthfulness; Kural Number: 0295}

மனத்தொடு வாய்மை மொழியின் தவத்தொடு
தானஞ்செய் வாரின் தலை

Speaking truth with conscience, is better
than who do penance & donate

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who agree with the conscience and speak truth, are greater than those who do penance and donate.

(Likewise...)

Those who unite with the policy and do politics, are mighty than those who have authority and army.
