Kural Number: 0476 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 048 - வலியறிதல்; குறள் எண்: 0476}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 048 - Aware of Strength; Kural Number: 0476}

நுனிக்கொம்பர் ஏறினார் அஃதிறந் தூக்கின்
உயிர்க்கிறுதி யாகி விடும்

Who climbed to tree-tip, if climbs further,
it will become end of life

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who climbed up to the tip of a tree, if attempts to climb further without realizing the limit of the human strength; it will lead to end their life.

(Likewise…)

Those who disrupted the rights of people, if attempts to disrupt more and more without knowing the impact of breaching the rights; it will lead to a social revolution.
