Kural Number: 0425 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 043 - அறிவுடைமை; குறள் எண்: 0425}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 043 - Possession of Knowledge; Kural Number: 0425}

உலகம் தழீஇயது ஒட்பம் மலர்தலும்
கூம்பலும் இல்ல தறிவு

Embracing the world is knowledge! Having no
blossom and shrivel is knowledge!

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Embracing the living beings of world is the best knowledge; having no nature of blossom at sight and then shrivel, is called knowledge.

(Likewise…)

Promoting the fellow colleagues is the noble honesty; having no characteristic of giving the hope and then swindle, is called honesty.
