Kural Number: 0401 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 041 - கல்லாமை; குறள் எண்: 0401}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 041 - Illiteracy; Kural Number: 0401}

அரங்கின்றி வட்டாடி யற்றே நிரம்பிய
நூலின்றிக் கோட்டி கொளல்

Speaking among literates, without reading literature,
is like “illegal gambling”

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Speaking among the educated audience without reading the books, which fill the knowledge, is like playing a gambling without a legal casino.

(Likewise…)

Entering the family life without having the qualification of conducting a family, is like driving a vehicle without a real driving license.
