Kural Number: 0395 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 040 - கல்வி; குறள் எண்: 0395}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 040 - Education; Kural Number: 0395}

உடையார்முன் இல்லார்போல் ஏக்கற்றுங் கற்றார்
கடையரே கல்லா தவர்

Who learned, like poor before rich, is literate;
the illiterates stay last

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who learned by respecting the literates, like the poor stand in front of rich, will become primary! Those who did not learn so, will stay last!

(Likewise…)

Those who grown by worshipping the parents, like the devotees in front of god, will become elite people! Those who did not grow so, will be ordinary people!
