Kural Number: 0405 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 041 - கல்லாமை; குறள் எண்: 0405}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 041 - Illiteracy; Kural Number: 0405}

கல்லா ஒருவன் தகைமை தலைப்பெய்து
சொல்லாடச் சோர்வு படும்

Self-pride of illiterates will be spoilt when
they converse with literates

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The self-pride of illiterates will surely be spoilt by their speech itself, when they get-together and converse with literates.

(Likewise…)

The fake-appearance of unethical people will definitely be destructed by their act itself, when they mingle and socialize with ethical people.
