Kural Number: 0297 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 03 - துறவறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 030 - வாய்மை; குறள் எண்: 0297}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 03 - Abdication Ethics; Chapter: 030 - Truthfulness; Kural Number: 0297}

பொய்யாமை பொய்யாமை ஆற்றின் அறம்பிற
செய்யாமை செய்யாமை நன்று

If "Not-lying" is secured, not avoiding
the non-ethics is good

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If the stance of "not lying" is made sure that do not become a lie, even the failure to avoid the non ethics can be considered as good.

(Likewise...)

If the basic of "not forgetting the humane" is made sure that it is not destroyed, even the oblivion to avoid the unnecessary racisms can be felt as great.
