Kural Number: 0503 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 051 - தெரிந்து தெளிதல்; குறள் எண்: 0503}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 051 - Clarity by Knowing; Kural Number: 0503}

அரியகற்று ஆசற்றார் கண்ணும் தெரியுங்கால்
இன்மை அரிதே வெளிறு

Even those who learnt the rare and are faultless,
can rarely be without ignorance

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If we know and have clarity about the scholars, who have learnt the rare and be faultless; it will be understood that even they can rarely be without ignorance.

(Likewise…)

If we closely socialize with the virtuous people, who have practiced the good habits and have no evil; it will be known that it is impossible even for them to be without cheap-pleasure.
